How We Do It...

We were among the first enterprises in our field to recognise and support the transition to more cost effective and environmentally acceptable waste collection and disposal strategies.

• Our High Density Baling Plant near Heathrow was the first of its size and type in the world.
• In 1990 we commissioned one of the world's most advanced high temperature clinical waste incinerators - meeting all existing EC pollution controls. The Plant has since been updated, to ensure compliance with newer and even more rigorous pollution controls.
• We also spearheaded the Government-inspired shift away from Landfill to Waste Recycling and minimisation. Our cutting edge Materials Recovery Facilities have earned us the approval and custom of a number of high profile organisations with a similar commitment to recycling and environmental protection.

Our new £180 million Energy from Waste plant at Colnbrook is presently undergoing commissioning. When fully operational it will process in excess of 410,000 tonnes of residual waste from businesses and local authorities. In the process it will generate 37MW of surplus electricity for export via the National Grid - enough to power 50.000 homes. The Lakeside facility will secure our industry-leading position at the forefront of 21st century innovation and investment.
