Waste Management in the Automotive Industry - Biffa

Challenge

We have supported this leading automotive technology company at their Sudbury site to optimise onsite operations and deliver on environmental goals.

Solution

We worked onsite and embedded ourselves into our client’s team. We rolled out a full recycling programme to capture recoverable commodities and convert residual waste to Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF).

  • Full recycling programme - Securing recoverable commodities generated onsite and managing rebates from all cardboard, plastics, wood and metals and some hazardous wastes with best value rebate returned to site
  • Operational gains - Auditing of working practices identified situations where a technology solution offered more cost effective solutions and supported core production levels. An example includes the introduction of a onsite compactor which saved 547.5 man hours per year
  • Full legal compliance - We have helped our client achieve full legal compliance of all waste streams, complying with EA and all other regulatory bodies
