Green Agenda

At a time when climate change and dwindling resources make daily headlines, it’s imperative to minimise the environmental impact of new developments.

The CDS Group recognises the critical need to adopt a sustainable approach. Our strategy involves harnessing the potential of recycled materials wherever and whenever feasible, effectively breathing new life into these resources. Equally crucial is our commitment to reintegrating nature into the heart of urban environments, harmonising the built world with the natural one. We’re taking tangible steps to safeguard the environment while fostering innovation and progress, here’s how we’re taking action:

  • 1. Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS)

    SuDS designs are mandatory for all development sites, fostering natural drainage methods, reducing flooding, improving water quality and enhancing biodiversity.

  • 2. Electric Vehicle Charging Points

    he shift to electric cars demands accommodating infrastructure for charging points, aligning with the surging popularity of eco-friendly vehicles.

  • 3. Recycled Plastic Drainage

    Utilising recycled plastic in below-ground drainage systems reduces the demand for new plastic production, promoting sustainability.

  • 4. Energy-Efficient Buildings

    Efficient building practices, including triple-glazed windows, LED lighting, and A-rated appliances, contribute to reduced energy consumption. Utilising excess heat from cremators for heating further enhances efficiency.

  • 5. Electric Cremators

    Modern electric cremators significantly reduce air pollution and offer a green alternative to gas cremators. Heat exchangers on these machines provide sustainable heating systems for buildings.

  • 6. Electric Hearses

    Coupled with electric cremators and charging infrastructure, electric hearses offer a fully sustainable service, particularly when powered by on-site renewable energy sources.

  • 7. Plastic Roads

    The adoption of plastic roads, replacing traditional bitumen with recycled plastic pellets, reduces carbon emissions, fossil fuel usage and plastic waste.

  • 8. Native Planting

    Enhance pollution absorption and biodiversity with native and wildlife-attracting planting.

  • 9. Low Carbon Cement

    Innovative materials like Cemfree concrete drastically reduce the embodied CO2 in traditional concrete, making it a sustainable choice for construction.
