Everything That Plywood Wants To Be!

Plywood is not an environmentally sustainable material. The UK imports about 1.4 million m3 of plywood every year, much of it coming from halfway around the globe. When you consider how many of these boards are used in temporary applications such as site hoardings and concrete form-work, and then land filled as a result of their toxic formaldehyde content we think it’s just too much. Furthermore plywood has to be coated with paint, varnish or wood preservative if it is to be used as an external cladding for longer periods, thus adding to the cost.

A Truly Circular Business Model

Storm Board is an eco-friendly and environmentally conscious alternative to plywood. It has hundreds of potential uses and applications both internally and externally, including construction hoardings, shelter/storage buildings, concrete formwork, tanking, flood protection, trailer repairs, fencing, lining animal pens, bin enclosures, advertising boards, toilet cubicles, furniture, screens and loads more. It can be worked like wood, but it doesn’t rot or weather. But best of all is that at the end of its useful life it can be shredded again and re-used to make new Storm Boards.

Specification

Storm Board is a 19mm thick board manufactured in standard 2440mm x 1220mm (8’ x 4’) dimensions. It is typically produced in either a black or green speckled finish. Each board weighs approximately 30kgs.

We are proud that so many of our customers come back to us every time for all their commercial waste disposal needs. You can find out more about what our customers think below.

“GK Signs have been using DCW for a number of years to manage the collection and disposal of our waste. Initially, our relationship was formed to service our site in Exeter, Devon, but this has now developed into a national agreement. DCW are always able to meet our requirements, which can at times be demanding. From the office support through to delivery drivers, DCW are very flexible and fully support GK Signs.”
Colin Green,
GK Signs Ltd Via email
"Like all companies, this period has been difficult for Twofour Group Ltd. However, we are successfully attempting to return to some form of normal working practices and with the assistance of efficient and adaptable contractors, this goal is hopefully easier to achieve. DCW are without doubt the best waste contractor that we have dealt with, in my 13 years at this company... I would have no hesitation in recommending DCW with their 'Zero to landfill' ethos being an important virtue with our company."
Graham K. McCormick,
Twofour Group Ltd Via email
"As always if you have a problem DCW will help. We have a depot over 200 miles away from the main site that needed help with waste management. One quick email to DCW and the issue was quickly resolved. The simplicity of having all the waste managed from one place and one number to call for help make this a superb company for national services with a local approach."
Justin Holloway,
Bandvulc Tyres Ltd Via email
"We've been DCW customers for about 3 years, maybe longer. Their zero to landfill promise aligns with our ideals, and makes our tenants very happy. They don't need to sort their waste to know that if it's recyclable, it gets recycled. Zero hassle, zero to landfill. Accounts and customer services staff have always been very helpful and friendly.

If you haven't tried them, what have you got to lose?"
Rhiannon, Hub Manager,
Tavistock Enterprise Hub Via twitter
"As a business we strive to maximise waste for recycling, however as a busy exhibition and conference centre found it difficult with traders not necessarily caring of the way in which they dispose of waste. In working with DCW, we have been able to achieve our ambitions and easily, thanks to the fantastic technology they use. We are now proudly recycling the vast majority of waste generated."
Sarah Rich, Events Manager,
Westpoint, Exeter
"DCW has provided a sterling service to Supacat Ltd. They offer a timely response to enquiries, and their customer service is second to none. DCW has helped us to improve our environmental performance and reduce costs."
Rosie Piper,Sales & Marketing Admin,
Supacat Ltd
“After experiencing a series of inconsistent collections and communication difficulties with our previous waste management provider, we switched to DCW who now handle our general waste and recycling requirements for our two sites in Somerset. We are extremely happy with the excellent service we receive from DCW. The transfer process was easy and simple and it’s handy to have a monthly call with the team. Even though DCW offers competitive rates, we primarily switched to this local recycling company for a better service as our previous provider was unreliable. I cannot fault the DCW team’s work and I look forward to working with them in the foreseeable future.”
Tristan Savage, Managing Director,
Falcon Vehicle Solutions
“We’ve been dealing with DCW for several years now and I am constantly grateful to them for their knowledge and ability to respond to the currently ever-changing situations for the education sector. Always there at the end of the phone when the latest Covid guidance for schools changes and we have to adapt our processes. It’s nice to not have to worry about the waste chain when there is so much else to consider at the moment."
Jamie Halse, Estates Manager,
Stover School
“Effective recycling is hugely important if we are to tackle the plastic pollution problem, and we are pleased to be working with DCW with our joint focus on continuous improvement.”
