Electrical distributor Edmundson Electrical has installed a new waste baler within its Doncaster branch, as the company furthers its quest to \u2018go green\u2019.<\/p>\n
With over 280 branches, Edmundson Electrical produces a large amount of packaging \u2018waste\u2019.<\/p>\n
But as an environmentally friendly business, with a number of initiatives already in place, branch manager Nick Hope knew that a smarter recycling strategy could be adopted.<\/p>\n
Aware that a waste baler could facilitate smarter materials handling \u2013 whilst reducing the charges associated with multiple weekly skip collections \u2013 Nick searched for Edmundson\u2019s first machine and the search stopped at Riverside Waste Machinery.<\/p>\n
Riverside recommended the RWM 150 baler, a mid-range model capable of producing bales of up to 150kg.<\/p>\n
Twelve months on, the company has already seen a huge difference.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince purchasing the baler we have halved the number of packaging waste collections from our Doncaster site,\u201d comments Nick. \u201cThis in turn has reduced our waste management costs, and that\u2019s before we take into account the yield from the sale of our bales.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe now produce 10 bales a week, not only generating revenue for the business but helping the wider environment at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
