Don't just use it – re-use it!

Just under 90 million tonnes of unwanted waste materials are created by Britain's construction industry – over a third of which ends up in our landfills One local Hub client is making a name for itself by helping to reduce and recycle industrial waste.

Tiger Enterprises is an East Sussex based company that specialises in carbon reduction by reclaiming reusable building materials. Its success has now been recognised by claiming a place in the final of the Young Entrepreneur category of the SEEDA Business Awards

Daniel Hill founded the company in November 2006, to reclaim unwanted building materials for recycling and reuse. It collects re-usable and recyclable building materials from major construction and building sites. Part of their role is educational, persuading builders and construction companies not to simply dispose of materials left over at the end of developments.

The company is actively seeking contracts with major construction companies to help clear their sites of re-usable waste “There is a great demand for our reusable building products” says Daniel “Our customers have the satisfaction of knowing that not only are they contributing to saving the environment but they are also saving money.”
