Environmentally Friendly

We believe that our products are the wave of the future, because they are inherently reusable and recyclable.  Our modern world cannot do without warehouses and industrial facilities.

Mahaffey's structures offer an alternative to brick and mortar buildings and serve as "temporary" warehouses and industrial buildings for many years.  They generally use light colored roofs that reduce urban heat islands, and provide translucency for natural day lighting that conserves electricity.

As needs change in the future, these temporary warehouses can be dismantled in just a few days time.  The fabric membrane is washed and cleaned (using our water-conserving washing machine) and is ready for another customer.  The entire temporary warehouse is easily relocated and 100% recycled -- the most environmentally friendly solution to our modern world.

We've considered the end-of-life issues for our products too.  After several decades, when the structure has reached the end of its working life, it is recycled using existing infrastructure.  The aluminum framework is easily melted down and re-used, just as aluminum beverage cans are recycled.  The Ferrari composite fabric membrane can be recycled using their Texyloop process that generates ready-to-use flexible PVC and polyester fiber.

Whether a Mahaffey structure is used as a temporary warehouse, composting center, or construction cover, it is a wise use of our finite natural resources.
