In a world increasingly concerned with sustainability and environmental protection, the role of businesses in mitigating their impact on the earth has never been more important. At Nine Zero, our commitment to preserving our planet is at the core of everything we do, particularly in how we manufacture our sustainable timber windows and doors.
Here’s how we’re making a difference by reducing our carbon footprint through three key initiatives: recycling timber waste, providing renewable energy to local homes, and choosing a renewable energy supplier.
Recycling Timber Waste
We believe that every piece of material has value, and nothing should go to waste – a philosophy that guides our approach to manufacturing timber windows and doors. We have designed all our processes to minimise waste, ensuring that all leftover timber finds a second life.
As part of this, we partner with farms close to our Cornwall workshop, supplying them with our timber waste to be repurposed for animal bedding and composting. This not only aids in reducing landfill contributions but also supports the local agricultural community in Southwest England. It’s also important to us to share our story and showcase how industrial waste can be transformed into valuable resources, which we hope encourages other eco-conscious businesses to assess and reduce their own environmental footprint.
Providing Renewable Energy to Local Homes
Beyond our manufacturing processes, Nine Zero is committed to fostering a greener, more sustainable community. We achieve this by converting the energy we generate from recyclable materials into renewable energy, which we then supply to local homes. This initiative not only underscores our dedication to sustainable energy but also helps us connect with and contribute positively to the communities we serve. By prioritising the use of clean energy sources, we’re taking actionable steps toward reducing the UK’s reliance on fossil fuels and promoting a more sustainable future for generations to come.
Partnering with Pozitive Energy
Choosing the right energy supplier is critical in our quest to reduce our carbon footprint. That’s why Nine Zero has partnered with Pozitive Energy, a supplier known for its commitment to green energy. Pozitive Energy sources its electricity from certified renewable sources, including solar, wind, hydro, and biofuel. This partnership aligns with our sustainability goals and ensures that all energy used in our operations contributes to the fight against climate change. Nine Zero isn’t about just making statements about our values. By using and providing renewable energy, and recycling our timber waste, we’re actively participating in the creation of a greener future. And as the saying goes: “small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world.”
Carbon Energy-Saving Vacuum Glazing
Vacuum glazing is ideal for those looking to save energy in their home. We offer vacuum glazing at 6.3mm or 8.3mm thick. Instead of traditional gas-filled options, vacuum glazing uses a vacuum-filled unit, which offers exceptional thermal performance and U-values as low as 0.7 W/m²K.
