Sustainability

We're committed to creating a better future for everyone by reducing our impact on the environment. We actively promote recycling amongst artists, customers and suppliers, and the consideration of environmental concerns impacts all our decision-making and activities.

We're doing our bit

Thanks to a recent Arts Council of Wales / Welsh Government capital funding initiative, our Mwldan 2 stage lighting has been successfully changed over to energy-efficient LED lighting, which is now installed and operational.
We are currently in the process of changing all of our building lighting over to LED sustainable lighting, saving both costs and lowering our environmental impact, and we continue to look at using renewables wherever possible.
 
We use Natural UK for our Nappy and Feminine Waste so none of this waste goes to landfill - it all gets boiled down and made into Insulation Board or Industrial Spillage Kits!
We have installed water-saving taps in our ladies and gents' toilets.
A Cisternmiser water system is installed in our men's urinals (urinals only flush when the sensors detect movement).
Our heating and ventilation systems are computer-controlled for maximum energy efficiency and comfort control.
All of the waste from rubbish bins we use in-house is hand-sorted by our services team and recycled wherever possible (glass/paper/cardboard/plastic items). 
Our used light bulbs are taken to the local recycling plant as well as any broken electronics/machines & scrap wood that needs clearing out.
  • •Mwldan is a dedicated Refill station as part of the national Refill scheme. Our customers are welcome to bring in their own water bottles for refilling. You can read more about this scheme on the Refill website: www.refill.org.uk
  • •Our take away coffee cups and paper straws are 100% recyclable. We also offer a 20p discount on our hot drinks if you bring in a re-usable cup!
  • •The reusable plastic glasses we offer are made from sturdy material that can go through our dishwasher, this is to prevent our single use plastic waste.
  • •The popcorn boxes we use are cardboard and all of our general waste is recycled wherever possible
  • •We have introduced a full recyclable scheme outside each auditorium.
  • •We now offer most of our drinks at the bar in glass bottle alternatives, this is to prevent single use plastic waste.
  • •We continue to develop our bar range and offer local products where possible, this helps to reduce food miles and supports our wonderful local suppliers.
  • •We use eco-friendly cleaning products on our bar.
    • We've teamed up with West Wales Rivers Trust to participate in the Phosphate Reduction and Mitigation (PRaM) Project, which aims to improve water quality within the River Teifi. As part of this project, we have installed a ‘Rainwater planter’ which takes roof runoff from downpipes, filters through a planter and discharges back into the outfall drain, slowing flows of water and improving water quality. 
  • •Our quarterly brochure is a ‘naked’ mailing, meaning that your postal address is printed directly onto the brochure so no extra packaging is necessary.

    We make lots of our own decorations for seasonal events, re-using old materials such as brochures and film posters - you may have seen some of our Origami stars at Christmas!
