What Happens To Your Waste?

Our commitment to truly moving customers up the waste hierarchy extends from our waste reduction programmes, to ensuring as much waste which cannot be reused as possible is really recycled, as opposed to being over reliant upon waste to energy facilities which still have the potential to harm our environment.

We operate a fleet of split body vehicles meaning we can collect separate waste streams in one journey and keep recyclable materials separate to maximise the level of real recycling.

Our new materials recovery facility is testament to this goal too, and allows us to remove metal, cardboard, plastic and paper from general waste collected which is processed along the conveyor belt system, with some waste manually picked on our picking line and metal for example being captured by an overhead magnet.

All mixed waste passes through the facility twice to ensure maximum recycling levels are achieved. This results in a reduction of residual waste which is then sent through a Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) process.

By using a state-of-the-art waste management facility, we are committed to reducing the amount of landfill required as much as possible and recovering more recyclable materials for reuse in our manufacturing processes. This ensures an efficient use of resources and reduced environmental impact.

We believe that by developing an integrated approach to managing waste, we can help to make a significant difference in reducing the amount of waste going to landfill.

We are committed to ensuring that as much of your waste is really recycled or recovered for reuse, and will work with you to ensure the process is as efficient and sustainable as possible
