OUR SUSTAINABLE PRACTICES

Taking positive steps to help our customers reduce their impact on the environment.

Our Ethos

At GW Shelter Solutions, we want to go further than reducing our impact on the environment; we want to be at the forefront of this positive movement.

At the core of our business is a commitment to improving lives and enhancing the wellbeing of communities. These values align closely with our customers across the UK

Sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do. We have embedded sustainability into our sourcing, manufacturing, logistics, and installation processes to drive real impact.

Sustainable Bus Shelters

Where possible, we use recycled materials across the installation. However, all the materials used in the construction of our shelters are recyclable.

Here are other sustainable choices we offer.

Our Steps Towards Sustainability

We work with local suppliers where possible to minimise travel time and potential emissions. This also strengthens our local connection and ensures an established network to work with.

We use chemical free cleaners when maintaining existing shelters to protect the shelter and the environment surrounding it. This includes biodegradable products that are non-harmful.

Our modular shelters are designed to last. We use materials that can withstand harsh weather conditions, reducing the need for frequent replacements or repairs. However, should the need for a repair arise, our shelters are designed to enable easy repair and reuse. We always make sure to correctly dispose of and recycle our waste materials.

We use renewable energy in our factories and use fuel-efficient and electric-powered vehicles and battery-operated equipment where possible.

We carefully assess each installation site to ensure that we minimise damage to the surrounding environment. We avoid disrupting local vegetation and we restore the site after installation to ensure the area is left in good condition and as close to how it was before as possible. Our living roof shelters can offer significant benefits to biodiversity, creating new habitats, improving air quality, and supporting pollinators.

Looking For A Bespoke, Sustainable Solution?

The shelters we manufacture and install are built with sustainability in mind.

If you’re looking for a practical, aesthetically pleasing, and environmentally friendly bus shelter, we can help.

Including one-off shelters or a set of installations across a larger area, we work closely with our customers to help them meet their environmental requirements.

“Once again, GW Shelter Solutions design, supply and install another Bus Shelter for Fenland District Council within agreed timescales and budget. Our go to company, especially when requiring glazing and maintenance parts for our older assets which still remain structurally sound and in use today; many of which have had a good coat of paint, a re-glazing to accordingly to local environment resulting in GW Shelter Solutions providing a new looking shelter with a significant reduction in cost when compared to a new installation. I cannot recommend them enough.”

“Our Council took a long time to find a supplier that could provide a good quality shelter, and we are delighted to work with GW Shelters.  Since 2021 they have installed seven bus shelters and supplied us with spare panels to fit our existing shelters.  Although we are based in Northumberland physical distance has been no problem for site visits.  Our experience has been that GW Shelters provides the right product, a seamless installation and a good after sales service.”
