Carbon Footprint

Set-A-Side Storage is a carbon neutral company committed to using sustainable transport for all our clients. All the CO2 generated by our vehicles is offset through Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) reduction projects. Although we cannot predict the types of material that sets are made from, we are constantly looking at new ways to recycle the wide range of materials used in set production.

How We Support Sustainability in Film Production

From energy-efficient storage solutions to eco-conscious transport planning and production set recycling initiatives, we help productions minimise their environmental footprint.

We go beyond just providing space – our storage solutions are designed to help productions reuse, repurpose, and reduce waste.

  • Optional climate-controlled storage for delicate costumes
  • Low-energy lighting & energy-efficient facilities to minimise environmental impact
  • Flexible short-term & long-term storage to reduce the need for new materials

The entertainment industry generates huge amounts of material waste. Our set recycling solutions help productions repurpose, donate, and responsibly dispose of materials.

  • Breakdown & deconstruction services for large-scale sets
  • Repurposing partnerships with schools, community projects & studios
  • Eco-friendly disposal for non-reusable materials to avoid landfill

Moving film sets, costumes, and production equipment has an environmental impact, which is why we focus on carbon-conscious logistics.

  • Route optimisation to minimise fuel use and lower emissions
  • We use HVO fuel and offset our carbon emissions.
