Lanes Rail has passed its latest ISO quality and environmental audits with no nonconformities – the third year in the row it has achieved perfect audit outcomes.
The achievement confirms Lanes Rail, a division of Lanes Group plc, holds certification for both ISO 9001 for quality and ISO 14001 for environmental management.
Daniel Ward, Health, Safety, Quality and Environment Manager for Lanes Rail, said, “Achieving certification for both standards with no non-conformities for three years is a great achievement.
“It reflects the standards set by all our colleagues and the willingness of Lanes Group to invest in equipment and working practices that allow us to continuously improve.
“The auditors from BSI do not just look at our management systems, they go out on site and see how they’re put into practice. So everything must be in place and working as it should to not get any non-conformities.”
Sustainable operations
The achievements also means Lanes Rail clients, including Transport for London and Network Rail, can be confident the ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 are not just met but fully underpin work carried out, Dan Ward added.
ISO 9001 defines good and effective quality standards, supported by a quality management system, across a range of parameters, including customer focus, risk management, and leadership.
ISO 14001 considers all aspects of an organisation’s work related to environment protection, waste management and sustainable operations, including efforts to reduce carbon emissions.
Lanes Rail is a leading provider of services to
the rail industry. It manages major contracts for Transport for London, delivering drainage, structure maintenance and repair, vegetation control and lock management services.
Electric vans
It could point to significant investment in new
vehicles which means all 66 vehicles in its fleet, with the exception of three vans, are Euro 6 compliant, the highest standard for reduced emissions and fuel efficiency.
The division has also invested in two electric vans which are used by plumbers to travel between London Underground stations to carry out repairs.
Lanes Rail also uses a highly-effective digital work management tool, called Teamleaf, which it has adapted to its own needs, to streamline workflows, improve customer service and make sustainable operational decisions.

Anew study by the US Geological Survey (USGS) indicates that at least 45% of US tap water may be contaminated by one or more types of forever chemicals known as per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances, or PFAS. PFAS are a group of synthetic chemicals used across various applications, from the linings of fast-food boxes and non-stick cookware to firefighting foams, pesticides, cosmetic creams, furnishing textiles, and outdoor clothing.
“The USGS findings are both shocking and scary as PFAS has been found in tap and bottled water around the world and linked to numerous adverse human health effects,” says Bengt Rittri, the founder and CEO of the global beverage and water purification company Bluewater. Worryingly, PFAS have been found in UK tap water in several studies, with a BBC study finding them to exceed European safety levels, which are more stringent than the existing safety levels for England and Wales.
A Swedish environmental entrepreneur who has made it his life mission to bring safe and healthier water to everyone, Mr Rittri noted the US Environmental Protection Agency EPA warns that high concentrations of PFAS chemicals have been linked to an increased risk of high blood pressure or pre-eclampsia in pregnant women as well as kidney or testicular cancer, raised cholesterol levels, and damage to the immune system, for example.
“The long-term tail of PFAS contamination is such that even if the release of the toxic chemicals was stopped tomorrow, they would continue to be present in the environment and humans for many generations,” Mr Rittri said. He said the USGS research adds tremendous urgency for why our schools, businesses, and consumers need to take water purification into their own hands right where they work, rest and play.
There are solutions for worried consumers and businesses, however. In independent
tests, Bluewater has confirmed its purifiers successfully remove up to 99.99% of the health-threatening PFAS chemicals, such as PFOA, PFOS, PFBA, and PFBS.
The Bluewater research was carried out in a laboratory at the prestigious Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm (KTH), and the results were verified by the independent bio-analytical testing group Eurofins.
Dr Ahmed Fawzy, PhD, a senior research scientist at Bluewater who carried out the tests at KTH verified by Eurofins, said little detailed information is available regarding which specific PFAS are used in what applications and to what extent. “Due to the uncertainty, we decided to independently test the PFAS removal efficiency of our Bluewater Pro water purifier,” he said.
The tests encompassed the four most common PFAS compounds in drinking water listed by the Swedish National Food Agency, PFOA, PFOS, PFBA, and PFBS.
Dr Fawzy said, “We deliberately contaminated the water entering the Bluewater Pro with PFAS at concentrations higher than average levels and then fed the water through the Bluewater purifier. Testing the purified water revealed an unequivocal result; Bluewater’s unique second-generation SuperiorOsmosis™ technology had removed up to 99.99% of all the PFAS chemicals we tested for.”
Bluewater has set its sights on being the world’s most planet-friendly beverage company by innovating disruptive water purification technologies for home, work and play. Providing hydration solutions that are generated and distributed at the point of use, combined with reusable stainless steel and glass bottles, allows Bluewater to break the stranglehold of single-use plastic bottles and their unnecessary, polluting transportation.
Bluewater products are available to consumers, hotel and catering operations, and event and venue organisations in Europe, the USA, the UK, China, SouthEast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Bluewater has been honoured with two Fast Company World Changing Ideas Awards, a K&B Kitchen Innovation of the Year Award, and numerous other publications have recognised its sustainability efforts.

Eriez Europe is the proud European manufacturing, design and specialist laboratory division of the global Eriez network. With an impressive 3,500m2 manufacturing space and state-of-the art test centre, it is an unparalleled leader in the design and manufacturing of magnetic separation, flotation, metal detection and metal feeding, screening, conveying and controlling equipment for process and metalworking industries.
To enable efficient recycling, the company offers end-to-end metal ferrous and nonferrous recovery through its scrap drum separators, ballistic metal separator and Eddy current separators.
The magnetic scrap drum separators are optimised for MRF/MSW recycling and waste-to-energy facilities. The drums have been favoured for decades in scrap metal yards to separate iron and steel from other materials. Applicable across multiple industries from scrap automotive, municipal solid waste, forestry wood waste, to foundry sand and mineral processing, the deep magnetic fields make light work of ferrous materials recovery.
Powered by advanced design software and magnetic circuits, the permanent drums are designed to function with minimal electrical power, saving on energy costs, without any sacrifice to the maximum field depth of 15 inches (380mm). These drums are hugely advantageous due to low maintenance costs, from the robust corrosionresistant interior materials, to the sparse two-
bearing lubrication requirement.
The Eriez Shred1™ ballistic metal separator is also specially engineered for ferrous recovery in scrap recycling. The separator uses ballistics to separate iron-rich ferrous from the mixed metals, providing a low-copper ferrous product & a traditional #2 shred.
Patented by Eriez in 1969, the Eddy Current Separator is used to remove nonferrous metallics in e-scrap processing, plastic recycling, wire chopping & processing, waste to energy and MRF/MSW recycling facilities. Nowadays, the ECS features an enhanced permanent magnetic circuit with rare earth magnetic materials to keep up with the demands of modern waste processing.
Furthermore, the RevX-E® Eddy Current Separators contain an eccentrically mounted rotor that has the distinct advantage of prolonging useability
by preventing heated ferrous build-up due to its design. The design purposefully focuses the powerful field at the end of the belt which, in turn, avoids any ferrous in the stream of material.
Eriez is committed to an ethical and green metal recycling service and recently joined The British Metals Recycling Association (BMRA) trade association. The BMRA represents the UK metal recycling sector and dispenses the latest legislative information, including environmental issues.
Eriez will be at Ecomondo: Italian Exhibition Group: Rimini Expo Centre, Italy (7-10 November 2023) to discuss the latest innovations in the recovery of metals within the circular economy.

In this issue of Sustainability Today, we are delighted to select Structherm Ltd as our External Wall Insulation Company of the Month.
Structherm Ltd is a leading External Wall Insulation (EWI) system-designer, widely known for its unique structural cage system. The Structherm Cage System is used to stabilise and insulate a wide range of non-traditional, hard-to-treat or structurally defective properties and high-rise buildings.
Established over forty years ago, the company supplies a thoroughly comprehensive range of External Wall Insulation systems, renders and finishes, to a wide range of applications across the UK, from housing associations, social landlords, local councils, education authorities, energy providers, health & social care providers, consultants, architects, specifiers and main contractors.
Structherm Ltd were formed in 1982 when the innovative structural External Wall Insulation panel was first developed and manufactured. Today, Structherm is an industry-leading expert in EWI solutions, with factory and offices based in Meltham, Holmfirth, near Huddersfield.
We spoke to Managing Director, Mark Harrison, to find out more about the insulation supply portfolio from this Industry leading company, “We design, manufacture and supply an extensive range of External Wall Insulation Systems and solutions with unparalleled technical skills and expertise that have been built up over the last four decades. We have gained an enviable reputation for finding solutions for the most difficult hard to treat property types.”
“We first achieved BBA certification for our
Structural EWI solution in 1989 and now have an extensive range of BBA certified EWI solutions. Our emphasis has always been on providing high quality, dependable, reliable, safe and sustainable products and services. To achieve this, we also operate all our design and manufacturing processes to our own Integrated Management System (IMS). The IMS incorporates ISO-9001 Quality, ISO-14001 Environmental and ISO-45001 Health & safety Management systems. This ensures all our processes are to the very highest standards of customer satisfaction and support.”
“Our unique Structural External Wall Insulation system is our best-known EWI solution. It is used to insulate and stabilise a wide range of ‘hard to treat’, structurally defective properties and is widely used on system built, non-traditional housing, schools, medical centres and also used as a floor-to-floor spanning system on high rise buildings.”
“We have continually developed our unique and innovative range of EWI products and solutions over the years including our own ArtBrick™ brick effect renders, RoofLine rain water management systems and ThermaBase insulation for below DPC.”
Structherm’s systems and associated products have been developed to provide solutions for a number of EWI applications including:
t EWI – A full range of EWI systems with a wide range of insulation types, textures, finishes and colour schemes for use on solid wall properties
t Structural EWI – a unique Structural cage system used to stabilise and insulate Nontraditional, hard to treat or structurally defective properties and high rise buildings
t ArtBrick™ an acrylic render finish designed to create, or replicate, real brick, stone and wood finishes. This is ideal for conservation/heritage areas subject to strict planning constraints.
t Structherm RoofLine™ a fully-integrated robust eaves and verge rainwater system that provides a fully sealed and insulated gutter solution specifically designed for EWI systems.
t Structherm ThermaBase™ a pre-finished insulation panel, used to insulate below DPC to ground level.
Structherm’s systems are applied on site through a national network of Approved Installation Contractors (AICs). Each contractor is carefully selected, trained and monitored to ensure the highest levels of quality and dependability and to ensure the upmost consideration for health, safety and environmental impacts.
Structherm have completed many thousands of schemes over the years including many prestigious and Industry award winning retrofit renovations. Projects range from single Grade 2 listed conservation buildings to whole housing estates, schools, medical centres and high-rise buildings.
The UK has an impressive array of fine Victorian architecture with many elegant terraced houses where the brick or stone architectural features and characteristics need to be conserved in order to meet strict planning constraints. This is where the unique finishes such as ArtBrick™ are invaluable. When approved by Local Authority planning departments, this allows for thermally upgrading buildings that would otherwise be left as they were built with poor thermal efficiency.
Another recent Structherm project used an A2-
rated mineral fibre ArtBrick™ solution and ThermaBase on an NHS Health Centre in Winslow, North Buckinghamshire. The superb exterior ArtBrick™ brick finish, gave this building a muchneeded makeover and improved the thermal efficiency of this much used community resource.
The Glasgow Boathouse is another such example where the Grade 2 listed building required a full renovation. The EWI system needed to be carefully selected to sympathetically restore the Boathouse by retaining the characterful architectural features. The structure had suffered severe weathering of wet and dry rot in the timbers over the years.
The Structural EWI system was used by spanning between the oak frame structure to enhance stability and was finished with a silicone render. The exact quoins, string and plinth finishing were replicated, through pre-formed mouldings, completing a stunning transformation of this beautiful historical building. The Boathouse had a grand reopening in May this year, complete with a full flotilla of boats, proudly bearing a specially commissioned flag.
Structherm also run certified-CPD bookable seminars/webinars to increase awareness and knowledge of how to treat non-traditional properties and high-rise buildings. These include a CPD session entitled, ‘Structural external wall
insulation & the refurbishment of nontraditional homes.’ This covers the alternatives to demolition in non-traditional homes and flats, encompassing low and highrise buildings. The modules include: EWI versus Structural EWI, installation of the EWI system, installation and finishing of the Structural EWI system.
The CPD training is specifically aimed at architects, consultants, engineers, specifiers, local authorities and housing associations across England, Wales and Scotland. The CPD training can take place either at the Structherm Huddersfield offices, individual company premises, or by webinars that can be accessed via online sessions.
The future of Structherm looks bright, we spoke to Technical Director, Julian Taylor, to find out more about what the future holds, “We proudly celebrated our 40th anniversary last year, showing we have the staying power to remain at the top of our game in this industry. We aim to be the UK's No 1 go-to company to provide EWI solutions for technically challenging, hard to decarbonise properties, schools and high-rise buildings.”
“We are focused on our commitment to sustainability now and in the decades to come. Our in-house environmental committee is focused on optimising energy efficiencies to reduce our carbon footprint. This translates to decarbonisation, emission reduction, energy conservation, the most efficient use of resources and optimised recycling. Retrofit refurbishment forms an integral part of the nation’s drive towards net-zero by improving thermal efficiency and we are committed to support that by future-proofing our homes and buildings to provide an improved quality of life for inhabitants and workers. Structherm refurbishments can reduce fabric heat losses by up to 75% through the walls, with cutting-edge External Wall Insulation, further reducing heating costs and carbon emissions dramatically.”

t Paper industry – where paper pulp has to be transferred to the various production stages
t Painting plants – where paint can be pumped at medium to high pressures
t Food industry – where the washing of vegetables and products often requires the circulation of water with soil or other impurities to the final treatment
The Italian pump giants are now focused on the French and English markets and is delighted to be showcasing at the RWM (part of ESS) 2023 Expo at the NEC from 13-14 September, billed as the highlight in the waste & recycling calendar. Although PEMO PUMPS are already used in the UK & French aggregates, tunnelling and stone processing sectors, for transferring slurry and feeding filter presses, the company want to reach out to the biogas and biomethane production chains and other sectors where durable, unbreakable pumps are required for application use.
PEMO PUMPS received positive feedback from biogas and biomethane companies at The World Biogas Expo back in March, where the anti-abrasive centrifugal pumps were praised for its anaerobic digestion
With the focus on the circular economy at the RWM (part of ESS) 2023 Expo this year, PEMO PUMPS is proud to comply with the European Community's Waste Directive, namely through its exemplary OFMSW treatment phases. The end result is compost, specifically designed for the agricultural, floricultural and nursey sectors, with high soil water retention and soil fertilisation by-products. The OFMSW treatment phases are designed to substantially reduce needless landfill waste and carbon footprint, further demonstrating PEMO PUMP’s contribution to the circular economy model.
In addition to anaerobic digestion processes, in the biogas production sector and fertilisation in the agricultural sector, PEMO PUMPS can be used for the following industry applications:
t Ceramic industry –where the liquid slip has highly abrasive characteristics as it combines a high concentration of solid product and a temperature that can reach 80oC
t Chemical industry – where its pumps can be customised with highly corrosion-resistant materials, they are often preferred for their robustness in applications where the mixture contains

The PEMO team has been showcasing its range of sturdy and unbreakable pumps to trade delegates at The World Biogas Expo (29th-30th March) and upcoming RWM/ESS 2023 Expo (previously RWM & Letsrecycle Live) from 13th-14th September and Pollutec (10th-13th October). The anti-abrasive centrifugal pumps are perfect for the biogas and biomethane production chains, for anaerobic digestion processes to recirculate OFMSW.
PEMO complies with the European Community’s Waste Directive, placing onus on the circular economy, through the OFMSW treatment phases. The result is compost that is suitable for sustainable agriculture, floriculture and nurseries, increasing soil water retention and soil fertilisation in the process. The OFMSW treatment reduces landfill waste and carbon footprint, further supporting the green age of sustainability.
PEMO’s centrifugal pumps have semi-open impellers and anti-clogging volutes that permit the transfer of highly viscous substrate containing fibres, filaments and large solid parts. The benefits of using PEMO pumps over single-screw pumps is a substantially longer maintenance tenure, up to 5-6 years, due to the HARDALLY PEMO weathering-resistant superalloy and flow rates up to 1,500m3/h.

The New Saints FC are delighted to announce a partnership with both Macron and Recycling UK Limited, alongside the launch of their 2023/24 official team kit. Ahead of what’s set to be another historic campaign for The Saints, the 15-time Welsh champions, and UEFA Champions League regulars, have announced Macron as their official kit supplier.
TNS will proudly wear Macron’s fully recyclable polyester kits as they embark on another European campaign, and aim to defend their JD Cymru Premier and JD Welsh Cup trophies. With sustainability a key priority for the club, The New Saints are proud to share Macron’s passion for recycling and reducing carbon footprint.
To reflect this, all first-team shirts for the 2023/24 season have been produced using the equivalent of 13 recycled half-litre plastic water bottles. This will ensure that the club boasts one of the most eco-friendly kits in football. As The Saints look to create more history this season, Macron will supply kits to the club’s men’s, women’s and Academy sides, as well as additional training and beachwear apparel for the coaching staff.
Speaking on partnering with The New Saints, Mike Davies at Macron said, “We are really pleased to be partnering with The New Saints Football Club. I have many fond memories with TNS FC and I’m delighted to be back working with some old friends. The club continues to set the bar in the JD Cymru Premier and we look forward to our new journey together.”
Meanwhile, The Saints have also proudly partnered with Cheshire-based RUK Group, who will become the club’s front-of-shirt sponsor for the next two seasons. RUK have been a long-standing partner of the club since 2016, and are leaders in the recycling and sustainability industry.
Alongside their front-of-shirt sponsorship, RUK will also supply pitchside bins to improve wastage and recycling at Park Hall. TNS will be able to promote RUK’s commitment to recycling across the continent, as the famous green and white will once again be seen in the UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds, with
the club looking to make history for Welsh domestic football.
Neil Clarke, Managing Director of RUK Group, also commented on the partnership, “It is an honour to be allowed the privilege of continuing the relationship which has been in place since May 2016. As one of the leading independent recycling companies in Europe, we are delighted that we are able to partner with the famous football club in the town of Oswestry where one of our group companies is based. We look forward to continuing the relationship that we have built up with Mike Harris and everyone involved at The New Saints FC.”
The New Saints’ Chairman, Mike Harris, also shared his thoughts, “As a club, we are committed to improving
our sustainability ethos, so it made perfect sense to partner with Macron to supply our kit for the upcoming campaign. I’d like to thank Macron for producing such a fantastic set of kits for us to wear as we look to make history once again this season.”
He added, “We are also extremely proud to be partnering with RUK as our front-of-shirt sponsor next season. Neil Clarke & Simon Marsden from RUK Group have supported us on and off the pitch for the past seven years, & to partner with a like-minded business at the heart of Oswestry, who boast many shared values with us, not least our commitment to creating a positive impact in the local community, really highlights the synergies between the two brands.”
TNS Chief Executive Officer, Kevin Harris-James, said, “I’m delighted we have been able secure Macron and RUK as commercial partners as we continue to drive the off-field business of The New Saints to match its on-field success. It’s a privilege for us to be associated with two brands who continue to be leaders in their respective sectors, with good values at the heart of their success.”

Transporter Engineering exhibited at the CARS & MRE 2023 Expo from 24-25 May, Stoneleigh Park, Coventry, by proudly showcasing one of its Urban Rigid Range transporters, supported by Close Brothers Asset Finance providing purchase options. The Salvage Urban Rigid, alongside the DAF CF340 chassis has incidentally just finished a successful run of demonstration load trials, up and down the country.
The Urban Rigid is a highly versatile medium sized car transporter, ranging from a dual deck five-car version, flat top deck six-car, to seven-car version, with optionality to increase to an eight-car carrier through the spec frame.
This handy vehicle has added capacity for punch decking for new vehicle transfer, durbar steel plate for salvage or ELV transportation or the new hybrid model that incorporates both. Based on the vehicle in question, the company can supply the suitable tie-down equipment, as well as winches, infilled decks, bike racks and many other accessories.
Established in 1992, this leading Essex-based Transporter company has a weighbridge open to the public on site and it is the only one of its kind in the country. Alongside the Urban Rigid Range, there is an extensive car transporter product range including: EVO8, Odyssey, Voyager Range, Juno Range.
Furthermore, the company follows sustainable best practice and has been operating a 50-acre solar farm and anaerobic digestion on its site since 2016. All rainwater is harvested and collected for reuse in factory ablutions and motion-sensitive exterior lighting is used, alongside a move towards LED lighting on-site and also in manufactured products. With interceptors for contaminates installed into the drainage system, used cans crushed and recycled and the bulk paint delivery system reducing carbon emission by adapting to mixing paint at the gun on application, Transporter Engineering is leading the way in optimising its green corporate credentials.
The new digital visitor management system, moreover allows for a streamlined customer site experience. This allows Transporter Engineering to migrate to a paperless system, fully integrating
record keeping into one digital hub.
The EVO8 is a forerunner, now in its eighth generation and is a perennial favourite among industry enthusiasts. It has capacity for 10, 11 or 12 car options, with the latest 10 addition, eliminating the peak deck. This allows the option of a premium cab, opening up the possibility of greener fuel options such as electric/hybrid HGV and longer term, possibly hydrogen HGV.
The sister product of the EVO8 is The Odyssey, one of the newer models from Transporter Engineering and offers 10, 11 or 12 car capacity options.
The Transporter Voyager Range is well known for its ‘simple-to-load' capacity, with durbar decking and superior winching, making it a popular choice across the automotive and salvage industry. The semi-trailer is now routinely used in the fleet industry for collecting mixed loads and comes as a seven-car configuration (6 4x4s.) with standard issue punching deck for new and scrap car transportation. There is the option to have fully
infilled decks and loading ramps for further uplift. Hydraulic connections come fitted, with the option to upgrade to electrical powerpack systems. Thus, giving the option to couple with a range of vehicles including alternative fuels.
The Transporter Juno range is also relatively new and perfect for small vehicle ranges from three to four car versions, across new vehicle transfer, salvage and ELV transportation.
The state-of-the-art Essex-based manufacturing plant offers either a small series type approval on its vehicles or alternatively is compliant to the IVA N3 Goods Test examination. Our facilities operate so that we can test vehicles on site. Vehicles are then issued with the appropriate roadworthy certification.
