Sustainability
From the very outset, the primary design goal of the Lomax System was to develop a solution that could be reused again and again and again!
This reusability helps ensure that less ‘one-use’ waste material finds its way into landfill and also ensures that it makes financial sense to own the system as the payback is only a few uses.
In addition to wanting to design, develop, produce a reusable system we are also aligned with the United Nations Global Sustainability Goals. We believe that ‘Every positive action you take, no matter how small, has the power to make a difference’. We specifically align to the following:
Centred on ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages
- Place yourself on the organ and tissue donors’ registry in your country.
- Vaccinate yourself and your kids. Protecting your family from disease also aids public health.
- Donate your blood. Safe blood saves lives.
Building a resilient infrastructure, promoting sustainable industrialisation, and fostering innovation
- Find a charity you want to support. Any donation, big or small, can make a difference.
- Invest in clean and resilient infrastructure.
- Stay informed. Stay in touch with the Global Goals online or on social media.
Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable
- Shop, eat and drink locally. Supporting neighbourhood businesses keeps people employed.
- Take care of public spaces – water the greenery, trim and plant trees, renovate sports areas and playgrounds.
- Commute in a sustainable way – bike, walk or take public transport.
Consumers make sustainable choices and production processes so as to minimise environmental harm
- Choose reusable products. Use an eco-bag for shopping, a reusable water bottle or a cup to reduce your plastic waste.
- Be conscious of packaging – the less the better.
- Do some research and buy from companies you know have sustainable practices.
- Commute in a sustainable way – bike, walk or take public transport.
Envisions a world where natural ecosystems are conserved and the environment thrives
- Recycle paper, glass, plastic, metal and old electronics.
- Compost. Composting food scraps can reduce climate impact while also recycling nutrients.
- Reduce your use of paper. Avoid printing and substitute it with electronic devices or carriers.
Lomax System Technical and Installation Guide
The intent of this ‘Technical and Installation Guide’ is to clearly describe and illustrate the build process and structural certification parameters of the various configurations for the ‘Lomax System’ in accordance to the testing of the system that was completed by the independent structural engineers.
