Sustainability
The future of our business, and of the construction industry as a whole, depends on how sustainable we can be. At MPMH we know sustainability is about more than the environment – we enhance the economic and social sustainability of the communities in which we work. We are ISO 14001 certified, operate a fleet of electric vehicles, and manage materials in line with the circular economy.

Circular Economy
MPMH is doing our bit to create a circular economy, where materials never become waste and the Earth’s resources are regenerated.
In line with the hierarchy of waste, we start with careful planning and scrutinising the design to minimise the materials we need to procure. We are experienced in delivering PCSAs and design and build contracts. Some waste is inevitable, especially where we are carrying out demolition or strip out. We prioritise sending waste to organisations, particularly social enterprises, who will reuse the materials in their current form. Upcycling is the next best option, followed by recycling. Materials we can divert from landfill include:
- Steel
- Wood/timber
- Paint
- Plasterboard
- Carpet Tiles
- Bricks
- Ceiling Tiles
- Raised Access Flooring
- Bathroom Cubicles
- Furniture
- Glass
The Three Pillars of Sustainability
Reycling waste is now commonplace among main contractors, but at MPMH we know sustainability is more than that. We minimise our impact on the natural environment by maximising the value we add to the economic and social sustainability of the project.
