Wastes impact on the environment

There are two million people in Britain’s building industry - and each and everyone of us has to think more about our impact on the environment The waste of building materials is pretty scandalous.

We'’ve all been on jobs and seen skips filled with perfectly reasonable equipment. Brand new doors, electrics, tiles, slabs, joist … just everything you can think of. I’ve done it. And I always feel guilty. But, sometimes - well, it is easier to discard unused materials than carry it around until you find a new home - or job - for it.

Most of the time it is paid for, afterall. But did you know that £1.5 BILLION worth of materials is thrown away every year in Britain? That figures makes you sit up and take notice, doesn’t it. And I know that I have thrown stuff away before that I could have used on another job just weeks later. That can be so frustrating.

So that’s why I have launched XS Trade. If you have materials, just put them on the website and wait for the calls to come in. Because someone will always want what you have.

Ask them to #MakeMeAnOffer

My main motivation is to stop this unnecessary waste. Yes, I would like XS Trade to make a profit at some stage, but that will only come if people start trading – and saving – with each other. That would be a win-win situation for all.
