Sustainability

Since 2007, Lyndoch Living has achieved significant reductions in the amount of energy and water we consume, as well as introducing a recycling program. We are committed to becoming a more sustainable organisation and reducing our impact on the environment. The results to date include:

7% reduction in electricity usage
18% or 4.3 million litre reduction in water use
7.5% reduction in gas consumption
Recycling of approximately 530 cubic meters household items, papers etc. that otherwise would have gone into land fill

Further initiatives under consideration include the purchase of gas-fired turbine to produce cleaner more sustainable electricity supplies, and harvesting rainwater for use in our laundry, which currently constitutes about 25% of our total water usage.
