Environment

At Clydebank Shopping Centre we are committed to providing environmentally and socially responsible management practices to help ensure future sustainability for all.

What we're doing to help

BIODIVERSITY

The Centre employs a contractor to ensure that the landscape areas are well maintained, the centre's car parks are well served with a variety of trees and shrubs including a mixture of deciduous and coniferous species providing colour all year round and habitat for local biodiversity.

ENVIRONMENTAL

Implementation of a waste management system which involves the onsite separation of:

• Cardboard
• Polythene
• Metal
• Wood ( a wood chipper has been installed and all wood is reused on the landscaping areas)
• Magazines
• Food
• Mixed Recycle

Foodwaste is now being recycled in 8 units at the centre, all food outlets are offered the full organic recycling service where the materials such as left over food and unsold sandwiches etc and convert them into electricity using a natural process called Anarobic Digestion.
This is done in partnership with Andron.

WATER

• Installation of water management systems in the public toilets to reduce water usage.
• Rainwater harvesting  is being investigated for the use of power washing, cleaning machines and landscaping.

ENERGY MANAGEMENT

We have achieved an overall reduction of the carbon footprint at the centre of 28.55%.  This saving was achieved by the implementation of an environmental champion from the security staff, installing timers, sensors and a review of working practices from the cleaning contractor.
