Environmental

Our Mission

At A E Evans we are committed to safeguarding our environment and to demonstrate this we adopt the following practices:

We continually assess what efficiencies can be made within our production processes with a view to minimising the amount of waste generated and the energy consumed.

Timber used in the fencing and play production is purchased only from those suppliers that are committed to the responsible management of sustainable forests.

Where possible we use locally grown wood from the Welsh forests to minimise the haulage. To maximise on our haulage efficiency, where possible those delivering raw material inwards also carry finished goods outwards to keep our carbon footprint to a minimum.

We encourage the recycling of our products and all by-products are further processed by secondary industries. The stripped bark is chipped and used in the landscape, horticultural and equestrian industries. All chip and sawdust is used in a local biomass plant that produces both electricity and heat.

We are committed to the sustainability of our local area and the local community as well as being one of the locality’s larger employers.
