Our Impact
The EnviroBuild philosophy is to make a significant environmental impact through a pragmatic approach to business. The construction industry accounts for up to 40% of CO2 emissions and we hope to achieve our goals through incremental improvements in commercially viable building materials, ensuring our products are best in class for environmental footprint and product quality. We have already made measurable gains over traditional building materials through the use of recycled materials, reducing material input, moving manufacturing to be powered by renewable energy and improving the end recyclability of products and packaging. As a business we are conducting full product Life Cycle Analysis to understand the true impact of our products and from this identify the best way in which we can improve them. With the understanding that there will always be an amount of embedded carbon in a product's full life cycle (manufacture, transportation and use), since EnviroBuild was founded we have donated 10% of our profits to sustainable charities that look to maximise the protection of primary rainforest and biodiversity.

250,000 acres
of rainforest conserved
with Rainforest Trust
How much is 100,000 acres?
With the help of our customers and partners, we have saved the equivalent yearly plastic waste of 68,000 individuals by using recycled plastic in our products, and protected 250,000 acres through our 10% pledge. To put that into perspective, our donations have protected the equivalent area of the Rainforest 2.5 x the Isle of Wight!
Roughly how many trees are being conserved through Rainforest Trust?
Under our 10% pledge, we donate every year to Rainforest Trust UK. Our donations have protected over 250,000 acres of primary rainforest and marine reserves, which is the equivalent to 62,500,000 trees, averaging at ~33,000 trees saved a day, 1,300 an hour and 23 trees every minute!
The equivalent of
195,000,000 plastic bottles
diverted from landfill
The equivalent of
6,000 trees
diverted from landfill
By buying products with recycled material, you divert waste from landfill.
Based on the average weight of an empty plastic bottle, we have saved the equivalent of over 195,000,000 plastic bottles from landfill due to using recycled materials in our products; a figure that we are immensely proud of. Additionally, we have prevented over 6,000 trees worth of wood from being wasted, sustainably saving valuable forest from unnecessary destruction through recycling existing resources.
We're moving to renewable wind energy
As part of our ongoing Life Cycle Assessment, EnviroBuild are delighted that Hyperion® Composite ranges have switched to being produced using wind power as well as having solar panels installed on the factory roof. This means that all Hyperion® Composite products are now running on 100% renewable energy!
With our environmental mission, we aim to be industry leaders in the world of clean construction, encouraging the industry as a whole to follow suit. EnviroBuild are paving the way toward greener lifestyles, and in turn, putting greater pressure on an industry-wide reform. We strive towards a world where no construction project, from great commercial structures to creative home improvement designs, must compromise on either quality or sustainability.
