use of the filter cake from its treatment process as a suitable alternative to virgin soil in the growing media sector.
Boasting the same essential properties as soil, including nutrition, irrigation and an optimum environment for the physical stability of roots, organic material recovered from UBU’s plant has the potential to be repurposed and returned to the ecosystem to support future biodiversity and plant life.
Rebecca Murphy – Peers, Group Manager at UBU, says its sponsorship of PAS 115 demonstrates the company’s ambition to identify new and novel ways to create a more sustainable future.
“For our business, this is a perfect circular economy solution in action. What we’re proposing is recovering growing media and soil amendments from our street sweepings and inert gully waste for use in areas such as urban tree planting. This material is often swept from these very environments in the first place.
The dried filter cake has all the characteristics required for use as a growing media to reduce the decline of natural soils through erosion and contamination and support efforts to increase biodiversity and green spaces in urban settings.”
Rebecca adds that taking action to address environmental impacts can also have a positive effect on the bottom line of a business.
“What UBU provides is an attractive solution for the disposal of road sweepings and inert gully waste. Not only are we able to
process this material in an environmentally responsible manner, demonstrating best practice and recovering valuable materials during the process, but we’re also providing an alternative to costly landfill disposal and passing on major cost savings to our customers.”
Fergal Campbell, Business Development Manager at CDE, says its partnership with UBU and the development of PAS 115 has the potential to contribute in a major way to the advancement of the circular economy.
“UBU’s drive and ambition to accelerate the rate of change within the industry in pursuit of a more sustainable future is evident in its sponsorship of PAS 115. We are very proud to partner with a business that shares our passion for finding solutions to the environmental challenges that face us all.
“Its pioneering solution for recovering and utilising growing media from road sweepings and gully waste is a significant endorsement of the efficiency and engineering excellence of CDE technology. It demonstrates what is possible with the right technology and the motivation to adapt to more sustainable ways of working.”
Established in 1998, UBU, a family-owned and operated company, is the largest road sweeper hire company in the North West, managing a fleet of over 120 Johnston Roadsweepers, high pressure road jetters, jet vac whale tankers and Precinct sweepers.
