DC's Green Initiative

Posted on Wednesday, March 13, 2019

In DC’s continuing effort to lead by example and to uphold our Environmental policy, we’ve implemented the following changes to help reduce our impact on the environment.

We encourage staff to bring their own metal cutlery instead of relying on disposable cutlery provided

We’re looking to bring in reusable water bottles to replace single use plastic bottles

Staff are provided with one single use water bottle which they can then refill at taps (dependant on water being available on site)

We have now phased out the use of sachets and milk portions. Instead, providing tea/coffee/sugar in canisters instead

We provide all staff with reusable cups for hot drinks, to eliminate the use of disposal cups

We have decreased the amount of single use plastic bin liners we use by having our bin bags custom made onto rolls, this means that we use less bags and this reduces the number of bags we end up wasting

Increasing the amount of glass recycling on the sites we service by segregating all glass and taking this away from General Waste

I just wanted to send out a big thank you to you and your team for all the work you and the team put into helping make the traffic and transport operation work so well this year.

As it was a pleasure having DC site services as part of our team. I think the GFEL team of contractors is the envy of a lot of events in the way we all support each other and it was noted by some observers that stated the following :- 

"simply put, GFEL’s off-site traffic management plan was delivered and managed in a totally consistent and defensible manner that sought to promote good practice, collaboration and road safety to the benefit of all road users."

The DC are big part of that delivery and should take some of the credit for that delivery.
