- On-site effluent treatment plant ensures all wastewater meets local water company consent limits for sewerage works.
- To further reduce the Carbon Footprint to procure materials & services locally where possible or available.
- Zero to landfill scheme implemented in 2015 has resulted in all waste now being recycled as opposed to being sent to landfill. A Waste Management Policy has also been initiated to ensure the new waste procedures are understood by all employees.
- Waste reduction scheme – A project implemented to reduce all general waste disposed of on-site segregating and distributing recyclable material including cardboard, shrink wrap, polythene, milk bottles, plastic cartons and drinks tins to a dedicated recycling partner.
