As of September 2021, the built environment, of which the construction industry plays a crucial role, contributed some 40% of the total emissions for the whole of the UK, and worldwide, it is estimated that the construction sector accounts for around 11% of global emissions.
The UK has set national emission reduction targets of 68% by 2030, and 78% by 2035, and there is a need for the construction industry to adopt more sustainable construction methods, whether that be through the more efficient use and re-use of materials, more efficient building designs, or using non-fossil fuel-powered machinery and welfare systems.
Garic is one of the most trusted and leading specialised plant and welfare facility providers in the UK, their approach to sustainable construction comes from the fuels they are using to power their products. The end goal is of course zero net emissions, although as an industry, there is still some way from achieving this goal. Garic is constantly evolving their product lines, and each time they are taking one step further in the right direction.
