Sustainability
What we build, and what we have not measured
A rest pod that has to be thrown away after one deployment is not a rest pod, it is waste with a door on it. Here is how the product is actually built, and where our evidence runs out.
Commitments
Things we can evidence
Each of these is a design or operating decision you can check against the specification, rather than an intention.
Built to be moved, not replaced
A pod that comes off a relief site is serviced and redeployed. Nothing about the design assumes a single installation, and nothing is bonded in a way that prevents a unit being taken apart and put back together somewhere else.
Repairable by part number
Drawings, bills of materials and revisions are version controlled, so a damaged panel is replaced from a part number rather than the whole unit being written off. Repairability is a design constraint, not a service promise.
Off-grid where it counts
The mobile range runs on its own solar canopy and battery. On sites where the alternative is a diesel generator running through the night for lighting and ventilation, that is the single biggest thing we can do.
Made near where it is used
We are building manufacturing capacity in Nigeria rather than importing finished units. It shortens supply chains, keeps servicing local, and means a spare part is a week away rather than a quarter.
Low draw in use
A fixed pod runs from a standard 13-amp socket. Ventilation and cleaning are the only continuous loads, and the cleaning cycle only runs when a pod has actually been used.
Long-life interiors
Sealed panels and replaceable berth covers, chosen so a high-turnover site replaces a cover rather than an interior. Consumables are specified to be washable and re-usable where they can be.
What we have not done
- We have not published a carbon footprint. We will not estimate one, and we will publish it when it has been measured properly.
- We have no net-zero target date. Setting one before we can measure our current position would be a slogan, not a plan.
- Material traceability is partial. We know our own suppliers; we do not yet have full visibility further up the chain.
- We do not currently run a formal end-of-life take-back scheme, though in practice we service and redeploy units ourselves.
Why there are no numbers on this page
Most sustainability pages lead with a figure. Ours does not, because we have not measured one, and a modelled estimate presented as a measurement is the thing procurement teams are learning to distrust. When we have audited numbers, they will appear here with the method attached. Until then, judge us on how the product is built.
Assessing us for a tender?
Ask for whatever evidence you need. If we have it we will send it, and if we do not we will tell you that instead.
