WASTE RECYCLING
B&M Waste and HUSCO International strengthen environmental credentials
REPRESENTATIVES of carbon neutral B&M Waste Services and global leader HUSCO International recently planted trees at hydraulic company HUSCO International’s Runcorn site, to off- set the carbon impact of their waste.
Ten common alder and fifteen Downy Birch trees were planted by Dave Curtis, Director at B&M Waste Services, along with Adam Baines, the Environmental Health and Safety Manager at HUSCO International.
Since working with B&M Waste Services, HUSCO International – which develops and manufactures hydraulic and electro- hydraulic controls for off-highway applications – have achieved a 99.01% diversion of waste from landfill, through their recycling initiatives.
B&M Waste have been carbon neutral for six years, and they continue to work with environmental consultants, Carbon Footprint Ltd, to further reduce impact. They reduced carbon emission intensity (in terms of tonnes CO2 per person) by more than 27% in total, and are further reducing this number year-on-year.
B&M’s carbon management further reduces impact, through the use of a green fleet with Euro 6 engines, plug-in hybrid cars and a zero waste to landfill policy. The company is currently involved in supporting landfill gas reclamation projects in countries such as Turkey, as well as planting trees across the UK.
Dave Curtis, Director of B&M Waste Services said: “We love customers that are as passionate as us when it comes to improving their environmental impact. For every tree we plant
in the UK, a tree is protected in the Amazon, which is a great achievement for us at B&M Waste Service.”
Adam Baines, HUSCO International’s Environmental Health and Safety Manager added: ‘‘I think it’s great how we have been given the opportunity to make such a positive impact on the environment.
“B&M Waste assisted in improving our environmental performance through waste management, and gave further assistance in terms of planting trees at our site. We chose Downy Birch trees to naturally assist over-dampness close to the pond at our site and local animals.’’
Combined forces great for WRA Falmouth based M1 Marketing is the exclusive importer and
THE Wood Recyclers’ Association (WRA) joined forces with its’ German equivalent BAV in an arrangement that will see the organisations sharing knowledge.
WRA Chairman Andy Hill and Executive Director Julia Turner attended a conference organised by BAV (the German Waste Wood Society) in Berlin, last year.
He gave German delegates an overview of the UK’s waste wood market and also spoke about the impact the EA’s FPP (Fire Prevention Plan) guidance had been
having on the industry, and the work the WRA is doing with the EA to try to influence future guidance.
Andy said: “We hope this will open up the opportunity for us to carry out joint lobbying on issues affecting the waste wood market, as well as share knowledge of best practice and market intelligence for the benefit of our respective members and stakeholders.
“BAV handles 80% of waste wood in the German market - 7 million tonnes a year.”
distributor of a protection system
for the cargo compartments of vans and semi-trailers.
Trailerlock protects the rear doors of trailers and LCVs to prevent intruders from breaking into vehicles, either while moving or while at rest in parking areas. It comprises a case, anchoring bolt, secret nut and wrench, plus back-up wrench, and anchors the handle of the locking mechanism to the trailer frame.
Trailerlock offers intruder security
Manufactured from solid steel, simple to operate and resistant to mechanical interference, the system does not require additional modifications to the rear doors of semi-trailers, ensuring the product can be deployed without further installation costs. It fits most trailers and is ideal for international operators or trailers carrying high value goods or left unaccompanied.
The body of the lock is placed onto the handle, so the fixing bolt passes through a smaller hole in the lock’s body. A secret nut is attached through a larger hole into a fixing bolt.
