SHD Composite Materials Ltd have successfully undertaken their first year of Carbon Accounting

We have successfully completed our first year of carbon accounting in UK with Auditel! In doing so, we have been able to quantify and understand our operational carbon footprint, developing the tools and knowledge for us to improve. Overall, the study shows that we produce less CO₂ than a standard manufacturing organisation* and we are confident that we can further reduce our GHG emissions as we work towards Net-Zero. Our next steps are to work across our organisation to set, and manage, clear reduction targets.

Striving to meet the demands of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.

SHD has a long-standing commitment to environmental responsibility, continuously implementing improvements to make our solutions the most sustainable in the industry. This includes introducing novel products, increasing production equipment energy efficiency, reducing packaging weight, and more. Now, we are able to support the composite supply chain on its route to Net-Zero with a diverse range of bio-based formulations and an equally diverse range of reinforcements to offer our customers alternatives to suit all requirements, from natural fibres to high performance recycled carbon fibres.

Nick Smith, Technical Director, "Here at SHD we make the protection of our planet high on our priority list. As such, we are committed to reducing the environmental impact of our operations as much as possible. As part of this commitment, we are working to reduce carbon emissions from all parts of the business to enable a robust route to Net-Zero."
