Sustainable Wheelchair Ramps

Sustainable Wheelchair Ramps: A Greener Alternative for Accessibility.

In recent years, sustainable wheelchair ramps have become the leading choice in housing adaptations, surpassing traditional concrete ramps. These innovative ramps are not only permanent but also sustainable, reusable, and backed by a lifetime guarantee. Notably, some local County Councils now exclusively fund modular ramps, moving away from older concrete alternatives.

Significant Step Forward.

This shift represents a significant step forward in reducing carbon emissions and fostering a more environmentally friendly future. According to the United Nations, “The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the world’s best plan to build a better world for people and our planet by 2030.” At Ramps Plus, we strive to align our business model with these goals, ensuring that our products contribute to a greener and more inclusive world.

Below are some of the key SDGs that guide our mission at Ramps Plus:

Good Health and Well-Being (SDG 3).
By enabling individuals to remain in their homes and move about safely, our ramps promote independence and improve mental and physical well-being. Allowing people to age in place within familiar and secure surroundings is truly invaluable.

Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure (SDG 9).
Our modular ramps are designed to fit even the most challenging spaces, making them the first of their kind in Ireland. Unlike traditional ramps, these require no concrete or digging, exemplifying innovation in accessibility solutions.

Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11)
Fully recyclable and reusable, our ramps are the only system in Ireland with such eco-friendly features. They provide accessibility without contributing to waste, ensuring a sustainable future for our communities.

Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12)
Our ramps can be disassembled, cleaned, and reinstalled in another home, highlighting their reusability. This ensures minimal waste while maximizing the product’s lifecycle.

Climate Action (SDG 13)
By eliminating the need for CO2-heavy concrete, our ramps actively reduce emissions, contributing to the fight against climate change.

Life on Land (SDG 15)
When a modular ramp is no longer required, it can be removed without leaving a trace. Gardens are restored to their original condition, unlike with concrete ramps, which are costly to remove and often contribute to landfill waste.
