"Fundamentally, Neolith is an organisation
with eco-friendly and sustainable practices at
the heart of the business."
Furthermore 90% of the waste generated by Neolith is
recycled and given a second life either with company
operations or through authorized 3rd party players. This
demonstrates a robust commitment to the circular
economy.
Neolith’s surfaces also embody these principles, with up to
48% of slab composition obtained from recycled material .
Plant machinery has been upgraded to improve energy
efficiency, particularly the 3rd line’s furnace which has
benefitted from the installation of an O2 and pressure
control system, significantly reducing the amount of gas
consumed.
This is complemented by a 40% reduction of forklift truck
diesel consumption and a 20% decrease in hazardous waste.
A policy to reduce the amounts of single-use plastic
used has also been implemented. A small, but significant
step towards carbon neutrality, demonstrating Neolith’s
commitment to sustainable business.
All these measures directly meet GHG’s reduction
objectives, which include: direct emissions company activity
(e.g. natural gas, gasoil used in forklifts, cars in property),
emissions from electricity used and other indirect emissions,
generated from other day to day company activity.
Fundamentally, Neolith is an organisation with eco-friendly
and sustainable practices at the heart of the business.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
In terms of carbon offsetting, Neolith has also undertaken
a number of environmental projects, in line with its wider
sustainability strategy. These projects compensate for and
absorb a specific quantity of CO2e. Chief amongst these is
an exciting, upcoming project in Central America to protect
and maintain the unique biodiversity of the Guatemalan
Caribbean Conservation Coast.
Specifically, the Guatemalan Caribbean Conservation Coast
project will see Neolith working to protect the unique
biodiversity within the remaining forests in the region. The
brand will help to address the drivers of deforestation
through effective law enforcement, land use planning,
education, economic opportunities and sustainable
agroforestry initiatives.
