Sheldon’s Workplace Adaptive Fitout Reuse Handbook
As sustainability expectations rise and older commercial assets struggle to meet post-pandemic workplace demands, adaptive reuse has become a smart fitout strategy. This whitepaper explores how it can reduce costs, lower environmental impact, and create distinctive, high-performing workplaces that attract tenants faster.
Delivering with a fully electric truck
Sheldon has a 100% electric, zero emissions, truck for delivering materials and joinery to site. This marks a significant milestone in reducing the overall emissions of Sheldon’s projects. Along with using local suppliers, and the coordination of deliveries to site from internal divisions, Sheldon’s electric truck signifies a drive to make the workplace delivery process more sustainable.
Sheldon’s Furniture Manufacturing Facility - Now Running On 100% Renewables
Sheldon has taken another step in its sustainability journey, with the installation of a new solar and battery system at its furniture manufacturing facility in the Central Coast. The upgrade includes a 99kW solar panel system and a 40kWh battery storage system, helping transform the way the facility is powered and reinforcing Sheldon’s broader commitment to practical, measurable ESG outcomes.
Sustainable waste management
Sheldon uses the services of Revert Group for all waste management. Through a comprehensive recycling and waste management system, Revert diverts construction and demolition materials from landfill. Revert is also developing products from waste materials, furthering their commitment to closing the product loop. This aligs with Sheldon’s commitment to working towards a circular economy.
