Intralogistics specialist Jungheinrich UK has donated a counterbalance truck to community interest initiative The Rebuild Site as part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability in the construction sector.

The Rebuild Site was founded in 2021 to foster a more sustainable and eco-friendly construction industry by encouraging dismantling, rather than demolition, of building sites so the materials can be recycled instead of headed to landfill. These materials are subsequently used in the construction of community projects.

Jungheinrich UK has a strong eco-friendly appetite with the Science Based Targets initiative in February this year validating Jungheinrich’s climate target to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050. 

In 2021 and 2022, Jungheinrich was awarded the EcoVadis Platinum sustainability certificate.

The Rebuild Site director and founder Emma Porter has racked up 20 years in the construction sector, and is passionate about growing sustainability in the industry.

“My day job is working with a family contracting firm in Cumbria, an area that's been hit by a lot of floods over the past few years," Porter says. "We're asked to support a lot of local community projects with flood recovery and I was thinking ‘surely somebody can connect the dots here (between surplus materials and need) and do something about this'. 

“For a long time ‘somebody' meant somebody else. Then I decided I was going to have a go.”

The Rebuild Site has supported more than130 community projects across Cumbria and Dumfries and Galloway, diverting more than 1,500 T of building material.
