Rixonway chosen for green project
Social housing kitchen manufacturer Rixonway Kitchens has been selected to take part in a new 'Green House' project to demonstrate how family homes can be refurbished in a way that reduces their impact on the environment as well as making them cheaper to run.
The West Yorkshire-based firm was chosen for the project being run by Huntingdonshire District Council as part of the Building Research Establishment's Rethinking Refurbishment campaign, which aims to demonstrate how typical family homes can be refurbished affordably and easily.
The two 'Green Houses' have been refurbished to high environmental standards and are being used as best practice examples for other social housing providers and building contractors.
Rixonway, which manufactures 12,000 units per week, has created a new recycling contract claiming that no waste from its plant goes to landfill.
