RECYCLING AND WASTE MANAGEMENT: PRODUCT FOCUS
THE VALUE OF WASTE
Some companies’ recycling processes are inadequate and many are missing out on the opportunity to recover significant rebates, says Fairview Facilities Management’s Managing Director Ben McCauley.
Fairview Facilities Management (FFM) delivers facilities management solutions to industrial, food manufacturing and clinical sectors, across the UK and Ireland. Utilising its bespoke Smart Tech Platform, FFM can guarantee annual savings following a due diligence process of review of their current services. Looking specifically at the important aspect of waste management for facilities managers, we talk to FFM Managing Director Ben McCauley.
During the due diligence process of working with each new client, we seek to unlock and deliver financial savings, and almost always discover that their recycling processes are inadequate and that they are missing out on the opportunity to recover significant rebates.
Unlocking the value of waste We help our clients to reverse their behaviour and spending. Before we become involved, they are paying companies to take waste away from their premises and

facilities. Now, our on-site staff separate waste, so that it can be collected by the correct recyclers. As a result, our clients make money from their waste – sufficient to more than cover the cost of the process. Each month, for each waste stream according to tonnage, we receive a rebate from the recycler, which we pass on to our client.
In manufacturing facilities, we examine specific recycling opportunities for particular waste streams and ensure that separation and collection are optimised. Improving sustainability is the ultimate aim, but adopting processes and procedures to ensure correct separation and collection has allowed our clients to understand and embrace the fact that waste has value. Rebates can be achieved across all types of waste, from cardboard, through most plastics, to aluminium and steel, realising a previously untapped, viable revenue stream.
We always look at the bigger picture and at every aspect of a business, doing all we can to help our clients improve their sustainability credentials and reduce their carbon
