Not just Carbon neutral; Carbon Negative

Paper RecyclingWe have signed heads of terms to send all our waste to a carbon negative processing plant during Q4 of 2011. The environmental benefits are massive. It will allow a one container solution with 100% recovery of the waste.

A separate paper and cardboard service will still make environmental and commercial sense for businesses producing sufficient quantities

The new facility will have the following benefits;

  • Fully enclosed and automated process - no human contact with waste.
  • Remove recyclables (glass, metals & plastics)
  • Excellent lifecycle performance (WRATE)
  • Zero odour.
  • Proven track record in UK at commercial scale.
  • Reduce transport costs and emissions.
  • Avoid wasteful landfill.
  • Minimise kerbside recycling costs (and Health & Safety risks). Also provides opportunity to Local Authorities to focus on batteries, WEEE, reusables separation at kerbside.
  • Generate clean, renewable electricity from sustainably sourced fuels.

Exciting Times

We are continually researching new and greener ways to operate, from Volvo's latest hybrid vehicles to optimal routing software and driver monitoring equipment. Also, all our vehicles have weighing equipment which not only provides the account number, weight, date and time of collection, but also pinpoints the GPS location of collection in real time. This enables us to provide complete transparency of service.
