Environment

Bioflame is an environmental engineering company whose 'green credentials' are our major asset.  We will not knowingly undertake any commission where any environmental malpractice is suspected.  It is our stated aim to make the general environment a better place by reducing the reliance on fossil fuel for energy, reducing transport movements and eliminating landfill.

We operate an open-book policy and will seek to involve any stakeholders, including local residents in our plans at the earliest opportunity.  It is human nature to worry that a new installation in your area may have an affect on your life. We aim to be able to allay any fear that people may have concerning the perceived effects of living near to one of our units. It may be a comfort to know that the Bioflame system emits less pollution than a solid fuel barbeque, is 4000 times cleaner than a waste fired cement kiln and that the Managing Director of the company lives with his wife and family within 1000 meters of our plant in Pickering. We can prove that our system is benign to the immediate environment and hugely positive for the environment as a whole.
