Environmental Policy
M & M Contracts is committed to protecting the environment.
Plasterboard comprises 95% gypsum and 5% paper; the major constituents of gypsum are calcium (23%) and sulphate (21%). The sulphate content of gypsum mixed with biodegradable municipal waste in a landfill breaks down to form, amongst other substances, hydrogen sulphide; which has a long term negative impact upon the leachate generated within the landfill and can cause odour problems for communities close to landfills.
The policy of M and M Contracts is to conduct its activities in such a way that it attains:
- Effective protection of the environment
- Efficient use of natural resources
- Effective waste management
