We founded BakerBrown to address the huge demands presented by the climate and ecological emergency as well as the challenges of designing in a post-COVID world.
For every five houses we build in the UK, the equivalent of one house in waste material gets put into landfill.
UK citizens consume 600 million tonnes of products every year. We also generate about 200 million tonnes of waste a year, with the construction industry contributing about 60% of this – a massive 120 million tonnes of so-called ‘waste’ every year!
Get the built environment working properly and sort out the Climate & Ecological Emergency.
UK construction industry, including the operation & maintenance of the built environment, consumes 60% of all products and accounts for 45% of carbon emissions.
