Food and organic waste
We have a background and vast experience in creating recycling solutions for some of the UK’s leading fresh produce suppliers and food processing businesses. We manage all types of organic waste streams – whether heavily packaged or containing animal by-products. By segregating waste, we help reduce other waste streams and meet environmental targets. Our processes include composting, generating animal feed, and anaerobic digestion – which converts waste into renewable energy.

Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC)/steel drum reconditioning
We manage a significant volume of intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) and steel drums. These industrial-grade containers can be reconditioned through a wash process for re-use or recycle – by being chemically cleaned, shredded and granulated for recovery. This means the raw material can be used to produce other products and saves natural resources.

The result: Our innovative waste removal solution saved the business over £80,000 in the first year, and reduced the impact of waste on the environment.
