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.
