5 Sustainability-Focused Hire Solutions That Reduce Carbon on Site

The push to achieve Net Zero is reshaping the construction industry. With the built environment responsible for around 40% of the UK’s total emissions, and construction activity producing 50 million tonnes of CO₂ every year, finding greener ways to build is no longer optional, it’s essential.

At GAP, we’re committed to supporting our customers in meeting their sustainability targets. Our eco-friendly products, available across our specialist divisions, are designed to lower emissions, improve efficiency, and keep your site productive without compromising performance.
