Agam recognizes the importance of sustainability. It is built into our process and culture. Agam contributes to environmental sustainability in a number of ways.
The vast majority of our material waste is recycled.
-
Aluminum and steel are the largest volume of waste and they are all recycled
-
PVC and acrylic sheet good waste are recycled through a partner program with a supplier
-
Wood is sent to a partner who uses it for heating
-
Paper products and cardboard are also recycled

Prefabricated Structures Significantly Reduce Waste
Agam’s prefabricated structures are delivered, ready to install. The only on-site waste is packaging material. In addition, structures can be relocated, reconfigured and reused in different applications or to meet the evolving needs of a flexible workspace.
Traditional construction, on the other hand,
produces much more waste.
