We believe that our products are the wave of the future because they are
inherently reusable and recyclable. Our modern world can't 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 whole 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. In several
decades, when the structure has reached the end of its working life, it is
recycled using currently 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.
