Zero to Landfill

This year we hope to achieve zero to landfill for all our non-paper arisings. Currently as you may be aware, all paper is shredded, baled and sent to paper mills for recycling into tissue products. Cardboard is baled and sent to board mills for converting into new cardboard boxes.

On the office recycling side we can recycle plastic bottles, tin cans, uniforms and electrical equipment. Anything that can't be recycled is sent to a RDF (refuse derived fuel) facility. Here the waste is shredded and turned into a flock. This is then sent to a cement company who use the fuel in their kilns as an alternative to traditional fossil fuels..

The next few years will be quite exciting in the waste industry as new methods of disposal and recycling are brought on stream. Be assured that we will keep you posted on all events that may have an impact on your business.
