Sustainability

GTB Components Ltd is committed to sustainable manufacturing. We promote continual improvement and are focused in driving reductions in three key areas; waste, water and energy. Sustainability is key to a successful business and is at the forefront of our minds in relation to products as well as in our global facilities.

Sustainability is a core value for our business. At each one of our facilities, we’re focused on:

• Operating an efficient and cost-effective system that uses as minimal energy as possible
• Minimising emissions
• Recycling/reusing waste products where possible in line with the waste hierarchy
• Many of GTB Components raw materials used are produced from recycled scrap
• Reduce waste at each stage of our manufacturing process

“Sustainability is vital to a successful business.  We strive to understand our environmental impacts and manage associated risks, and continue to drive improvement opportunities.   GTB Components Ltd have a responsibility to reduce our environmental impact in all areas of our business.”

• Example 1:-     Factory LED lighting is controlled automatically to adjust to preset luminance and to automatically switch off if an area is unmanned
• Example 2:- . Approx 75% of GTB Components raw materials are produced from recycled scrap
• Example 3:-  Developed and Patented a process to produce cross holes during compaction which removed the need for expensive and material wasteful, secondary drilling operation.
• Example 4:-   Reduced electricity consumption from 20 KWh to 7.5 Kwh on 20 high speed production presses.   This energy saving had no effect on press productivity.
