Low Carbon Business Programme

With everyone from top politicians to local radio DJs talking about carbon footprints, it's probably about time you tackled your's. We can take you through a structured programme of baseline, measurement, strategy development and implementation support. Remember, carbon = money. Low carbon = low costs.

Manufacturers

Terra Infirma sees 'waste', as a 'wasted resource', costing business millions every day. Support includes waste minimisation, energy efficiency, recycling, cleaner production techniques, environmental strategy and policy. Businesses in the North East of England may be eligible for a substantial subsidy on consultancy through the Midas programme.

Product Developers and Marketeers

Terra Infirma provides guidance and advice on developing greener products without recourse to expensive Life Cycle Assessments. Marketing 'green products' is a tricky business in itself, getting the correct balance between promoting green credentials and avoiding getting stuck in niche markets.

Environmental Sector Companies

Terra Infirma can help with business planning and product/service development for companies already in the environmental sector.

Construction

The construction industry consumes huge amounts of resources, much of which is wasted. The resulting buildings also have a very high level of energy consumption. Public interest in eco-building is growing, as seen on How Green is Your House and Grand Designs on TV. Terra Infirma provides support on all environmental aspects of the construction industry.
