Plastics

recovery success by Impact Air Systems

The hot topic of plastics recycling is not going away any time soon, and rightly so. It’s everybody’s responsibility to make sure plastics are sorted, collected, recovered, and recycled, but the bulk of the work typically still falls to the waste operator.

Utilising air-based technology to conduct waste sorting tasks is in huge demand due to its cost-effective and efficient technique which is why it is being selected for use in many recycling facilities around the world, saving thousands of tonnes of recyclable plastics, and other materials, ending in landfill.

Air-based material recovery solutions from

industry experts, Impact Air Systems, are leading the way with various options to suit a wide range of plastic applications.

The Impact Film Vacuum System and Airlift solution, removes plastic bags, films from the waste stream, and bales them with a screw compactor system. Zigzag separation provides an efficient and effective solution to remove dust, debris, and fibres from rigid WEEE plastic, granules, and flakes to provide a more valuable product for recycling. Impact’s Pneumatic Conveying System seamlessly transports plastic bottles and containers through the facility via a ductwork system to external storage containers or bunkers.

Impact’s solutions ensure higher quality

material streams along with increased revenue from recovered recyclable materials. They also greatly assist the operator in achieving zero waste targets while encouraging the circularity of plastics aiding the transition towards a circular economy. www.impactairsystems.com

Let’s talk air pollution!

Poor air quality is the largest environmental risk to public health in the UK. The health impacts of air pollution are estimated to cost up to £20 billion PA and cause up to 36,000 DEATHS in the UK alone. A major component of urban air pollution is Nitrous Oxides (NOx – NO/NO2).

At IMS we provide state of the art ‘Emissions Reduction Technology’ and ‘Noise Abatement Solutions’ that dramatically reduce NOx Emissions and cuts Noise Pollution from Large Stationary Power Generation Equipment typically used in the Energy, Health, Utility and Manufacturing Market Sectors (Datacentres, Hospitals, Banks, Phone & Water Companies). This aids to improve our quality of life.

The IMSeco ‘Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Technology’ is designed bespoke for each application and can be retrofitted to existing Power Generation Equipment for compliance with the Medium Combustion Plant Directive (MCPD). The SCR system will reduce NOx emissions by approximately -95% taking it well below the threshold of 190mg/Nm3 @15% O2 set by DEFRA on Diesel Powered engines within the specified 10-20 minutes from start-up.

Waste Recycling Machinery Company of the Month

Helping clients treat waste as a commodity to be conserved and valued

In this issue of Sustainability Today, we are pleased to announce Compact & Bale as our Waste Recycling Machinery Company of the Month.

After selling print finishing equipment, materials handling systems, then balers in the UK for over 12 years, Steve Burnett started Compact & Bale in July 2000 and has never looked back! Based in Tonbridge, Kent, Compact & Bale Ltd are an awardwinning company that supplies 100s of machines and collects 1,000s of tonnes of material for recycling and recovery each year.

Its clients include leading retail, manufacturing, warehouse and distribution businesses together with local authorities, hospitals, shopping centres, garden centres and recyclers, and the company is ISO9001, ISO14001, CHAS, Safe Contractor and Altius accredited. It also offers 24/7 support from its online helpdesk, and with its own team of engineers, can be trusted to deliver on what is promised.

As UK partners for Europe’s leading manufacturers, Compact and Bale provide a comprehensive and full range of innovative compactors, cardboard balers, shredders, wheelie bin compactors and

liquid draining machines to some of Britain’s biggest businesses including Ikea, Peacocks, Monsoon, O2 Centre, Cotton Traders and Bodyshop in addition to numerous hospitals, shopping centres and councils.

Sold in over 53 countries around the world, the company’s compactors and balers are of the highest quality and with their reduced lifetime cost, provide the greatest return on investment. The compactor solutions include a range of market first innovations that do not just provide significant direct environmental and financial benefit, but also save on labour with its ‘Automate to Save’ range.

Compact & Bale’s range of Waste Compactors use 24-38+ tonnes of pressure, achieving up to 10:1 compaction ratio, to consistently compact high payloads on a wide range of waste materials. Steve commented, “These machines help clients to keep their costs down but their payloads high – all of our machines are quality built to CHEM standards and are typically loaded by hand or automatic bin lifter from ground or dock level.”

There is also a wide range of Baling machines, which can help companies deal with waste much more quickly, and to avoid their skips being full of mixed waste, much of which could be recycled if it were kept separate. Baling waste like cardboard,

polythene, film, paper and plastic saves companies paying for disposal, reduces handling on site and, in many cases, enables them to sell waste by the tonne for recycling. It also reduces the number of collections required, cutting site traffic, local environmental impact and overall CO2 emissions. Compact and Bale also have an enviable reputation for the highest quality refurbishments. The workshop and service team really care and produce the finest recycled recycling machinery. For example, the Strautmann Umwelttechnik GmbH PP1207, ‘Battleship Built’ mill size baler users 58t pressure, sits in a compact footprint and can compact cardboard, polythene, pp crates or bags for recycling all day, every day, for 20 plus years!

For waste companies that rent balers and compactors to their customers, and pay monthly rental invoices for years, yet never actually own the machinery, this will add up to a lot of money spent on equipment hire. However, as Steve continued, “We encourage companies to look at things differently. If they buy the highest quality, most reliable, longest lasting machines on the market, they can rent them out themselves,

Specialist Data Logging Company of the Month

get client’s work and their rental will repay the outlay. This means that they firstly get return of investment, then return on investment!”

There are obviously similar companies in the industry offering similar products and services, but thanks to its partnerships with Europe’s leading manufacturers of intelligent compaction equipment, Compact & Bale supply automated waste handling systems that free up staff and cut handling costs, labour and carbon footprint.

In partnership with University College London (UCL) who have a long history of collaboration with Eltek, the AQ110 advanced air quality monitor was developed. The integrated unit was designed to capture temperature, humidity, CO2, particulates (PM1, PM2.5, PM10), NO2, CO and TVOCs. Using the remote data capture, researchers were able to mount long term monitoring campaigns including one successful study that allowed researchers to observe the impact of traffic pollution on both external and internal levels, indicating the importance of

NO2 filtration in high pollution sites. Following this research the AQ110 Advanced air quality monitors have been used on a series of research projects, measuring indoor and outdoor air quality in residential apartments, hospitals, offices and schools. In additional progress, the AQ112 has been developed which further adds an Ozone sensor to the original AQ110 design.

Another notable product is Darca Connect which is Browser Based Software for desktop, tablet and mobile that provides powerful but simpleto-use tools for metering sensors and analysing up-to-the-minute data either graphically or statistically. Darca Connect has been specifically designed for environmental monitoring on both large- and small-scale sites. With versions specifically designed for site administrators to enable them to configure the system to give controlled access for departmental managers and secondary users.

Some of these sites could include museums, pharmaceutical and distribution warehouses, schools, offices, research laboratories, and more. Features include a customisable dashboard, SMS and email alarms & notifications, charting,

reports & analysis, zone graphics, metering, user management, and automation.

“We provide lifetime support as well as custom solutions not just standard systems,” said Brian. Eltek prides itself in providing the best service for its customers which is why it has earned the respectable reputation of quality and outstanding customer service within the industry. Ensuring customers feel supported from the beginning to the end, Eltek stands out from the competition as when you are in need, Eltek offer customers the chance to talk directly to the people who actually design and make your loggers. Looking ahead, Eltek will continue to embrace its Browser Based Software and IOT Technology that was launched off the back of COVID-19 to facilitate the many workers needing to work from home.

Industry Excellence

M&J Recycling: With you all the way as your leading expert in waste shredding

In this issue of Sustainability Today, we have selected M&J Recycling as the recipient of our Industry Excellence Award.

M&J Recycling – formerly Metso Waste Recycling – specialises in the design and manufacture of industrial waste shredders to reduce the size of waste materials effectively and reliably. With more than 1,000 installations worldwide and with a continued focus on R&D innovation, it is one of the world’s leading suppliers of industrial waste shredders for the recycling industry.

All M&J Recycling pre-shredders and fineshredders share superior features and an exceptionally robust construction. They can tackle most recycling tasks and can handle a wide range of different waste materials – either in bales, rolls, bricks or just loose.

M&J Recycling has its headquarters in Horsens, Denmark where the manufacturing facility is, with also offices in the UK, Germany, Thailand, China, USA, Sweden, Poland, and South Korea. The original M&J Industries was founded on June 16th in 1857 by Messers Moeller and Jochumsen as an iron foundry, developing and producing its first industrial shredder in 1988.

In 2009 the company became a part of the Metso organisation, a Finnish industrial group, but in late 2021 was divested from the Metso family. It was acquired by Ahlström Capital, a familyowned investment company that focuses its investment activity on industrial companies and real estate, and has reverted to the original name of M&J Denmark A/S trading as M&J Recycling.

It is the same company, the same people, the same great shredders and the same global locations and backup as before. This is great news for the business and has allowed them to become a truly independent business for the first

time in many years, which gives the commercial freedom to forge its own path. The company will have even more scale and coverage to help customers with their operational objectives and future expansions.

M&J Recycling design and manufacture the world-renowned M&J brand of specialist preand secondary size reduction and shredding machinery for the recycling and waste processing industries. This is backed up and supported by a global network of sales, service, parts and maintenance partners, agents and distributors.

The company also services a broad span of industries, but principally serves the global waste and recycling markets. These consist of companies that work in EfW, hazardous waste, incineration, recycling, biomass and composting, along with processing RDF/SRF, MSW, metal, paper, plastic, bulky and wood waste amongst others. This would also include any customer who wants to be able to size reduce a waste material, before onward processing for either further size reduction to produce RDF and SRF or to ease the separation process for onward recycling.

M& J Recycling provides a complete shredding solution for its customers with both pre and secondary shredding requirements. It is a onestop supplier with a single point of contact for the supply of parts, servicing, maintenance and breakdowns. Customers only have to call on one engineer to service their entire shredding operation, and having a commonality of parts across both technologies, helps the company to keep costs down. This makes ongoing maintenance and servicing much easier to plan, carry out and keep a record of.

There are obviously many companies in this industry, but M&J Recycling remain at the forefront. Along with its world-beating shredding technology, the company also has a global network of distribution partners who provide the backup service crucial to any organisation when they invest in an expensive piece of capital equipment. When a client purchases equipment, they want to know that for the next 10-15 years they have access to parts and engineers when needed, wherever they may be. M&J Recycling have machines on every continent in the world and are proud to be able to offer support and back up to every one of those machines. However M&J Recycling refuses to rest on its laurels, and is very much looking to future development. UK & ROI Area Sales Manager, Dan Fairest, commented, “We recently launched the next generation M&J PreShredder. Our skilled engineers have taken a true winner, the M&J PreShred 4000S, and made it even better. Established over 25 years as the absolute elite of pre-shredders for customers who do not compromise on quality, it has been continuously

improved over the years, and we can now introduce a new model to carry on the proud traditions.”

The P250 is also available with the traditional robust hydraulic power pack and now, for the first time, with a direct E drive which is truly revolutionary due to some very clever engineering. The unique M&J E-drive consumes up to 50% less energy during operations compared to the hydraulic drive, but it still delivers the same high throughputs. This enables customers to drive the green transformation in their business in partnership with M&J Recycling. All vital parts of the M&J P250 E-drive can be quickly disassembled, which provides significant time and cost savings when it comes to service and maintenance, in addition to better welding access for Hardfacing on the cutting table. There is no need to disconnect the hydraulic system during maintenance, and high-pressure hoses also do not need to be disconnected. The drive module is easily disconnected via nuts and bolts, meaning that it is easy to adapt the machine to future needs.

Dan continued, “As we look forward, we are constantly expanding globally with new partners, providing both sales and after sales service. It is our ambition to offer the market’s best after sales service to ensure that our customers have the highest possible uptime on their M&J machinery.”

The success with which the aforementioned M&J P250 with E-drive has been introduced onto the market has vindicated the hard work of all staff. Dan concluded, “We are very proud to receive this Industry Excellence Award, as it makes all the hard work we do throughout the year worthwhile. It is always nice to be recognised for your achievements!”

How efficient is your home?

With the current energy crisis, it is vital that we ensure that our homes are as energy efficient as possible – around 20% of the UK’s carbon emissions come from homes and yet 80% of heating systems are inefficient.

A ThermaFY survey is an effortless action that can tip the scale in the journey towards a greener future, and the company strongly believes in building and developing longterm relationships, in order to help its customers take meaningful targeted action to reduce their energy costs and carbon emissions at home.

A ThermaFY home efficiency survey can help to understand where and how you can save money. Our bespoke energy survey will provide a thorough and detailed examination of every aspect of the home. The company utilises its unique thermal analysis software to make those invisible inefficiencies visible & ultimately, help customers to identify the best

Hydro Genie Systems

Hydro Genie Systems can dramatically reduce energy consumption on existing heating boilers.

Rising costs and climate concerns are encouraging innovators to develop groundbreaking technologies. Jim Bisset is one such innovator.

In 2018 he was granted a patent for Hydro Genie Systems. They are now in operation in a range of commercial and domestic locations including Crieff Hydro, a North Lanarkshire school, the Science & Technologies Facilities Council at the Edinburgh Royal Observatory and Cartha Queens Rugby Club among others. They are also installed in over 790 homes throughout the UK.

Hydro Genie Systems deliver reductions in fuel consumption of up to 30% to 50%. Fuel

steps for improvement.

As a business, ThermaFY are looking more and more at sustainability, because it is passionate about the fact that the central heating systems in the UK tend to be fairly inefficient and there are limited ways of actually seeing how inefficient they really are.

ThermaFY exhibited at the AllEnergy Expo in Glasgow back in May. All-Energy helps the renewable & low carbon energy industry by uniting the power of expertise, knowledge & innovative technology to better engineer an integrated net zero energy future. The Expo connected suppliers of renewable and low carbon energy solutions and policy makers to developers, investors, buyers and a number of professionals from around the world.

costs are dramatically reduced, and emissions are therefore reduced accordingly.

The technology removes dissolved gases from heating fluid, enabling quicker heat transfer. The fluid dynamics within the Hydro Genie unit then induces a slight compression causing the fluid coming out to rise in temperature by 2 to 3ºC.

This increase is then measured by one of our Energy Genie Controllers which uses that enhanced heat to control the boiler.

Hydro Genie Systems can be retrofitted to all existing wet heating systems. They can even be incorporated into existing heat pumps or renewable thermal systems.

Two brands, one company

Based on more than 40 years of experience and with first-class mechanical know-how, Flender develops drive components and service offers for the wind power industry. It is one of the world’s leading manufacturers with more than 200 GW of delivered gearbox power and over 50,000 generators for wind turbines.

Although drive technology is combined for many branches of industry under the Flender brand, Winergy supplies gearboxes, generators and services for wind turbines. In 1981 the first Winergy gearbox for wind turbines was built and since then the technical and qualitative concepts have been constantly improved.

In the UK, Flender is in Leeds, from where the company offers inhouse overhauls of wind gear units, as inspection and preventive maintenance need to be carried out regularly, especially on machinery operating continuously in a harsh environment. The uptower inspection service identifies and assesses the actual equipment condition by either visual

Whetheronshore or offshore, advancements in IoT connectivity have enabled significant improvements to many aspects of operations on renewable energy projects. In this article, Clarus explores how great connectivity helps energy providers significantly reduce operational costs, improve uptime, cut their carbon footprint, and improve health and safety for employees on all their sites, no matter how remote.

Wind turbines are complex and expensive to manufacture, meaning the effective, efficient operation and maintenance of turbines is critical. One turbine is equipped with up to 1,000 sensors, monitors, and actuators – managing all of these across an entire site requires the right software, processes, and of course a reliable internet connection.

A supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system is central to this, helping energy projects improve uptime, reduce costs, and extend turbine lifetime. This is aligned with the aims of the ROMEO project, an EU-backed initiative to support companies in developing advanced technological solutions to reduce operational costs of offshore wind projects.

Wind power facilities are often located very in remote, challenging environments. Traditionally, deploying ICT infrastructure for such projects was very challenging, with very long lead times and extensive groundworks required.

Fortunately, the advancements of communication technologies have presented high-speed, costeffective, and scalable solutions in the form of private LTE/5G, bonded connectivity, and LEO satellite networks. Combined, these technologies can deliver truly global coverage, even offshore, deployed in just a matter of days, rather than months.

Cambridge Carbon Capture

Climate change is the biggest challenge humankind has ever had to address

Even if we stopped emitting greenhouse gasses today, because of the ‘lag’ in the climatic system, there is already sufficient CO2 in the atmosphere to create over 1.5 degrees of warming, a level generally considered ‘safe’ by the IPCC. (ref: www.carbonbrief.org/explainer-will-globalwarming-stop-as-soon-as-net-zero-emissions-arereached/)

It is therefore going to be necessary to remove CO2 from the atmosphere if we are to keep global temperatures within this ‘safe zone’. Also emissions from sectors such as shipping and aviation are going to be extremely difficult to reduce to zero, so methods of offsetting will be necessary to compensate for these emissions in order to reach net zero emissions.

Cambridge Carbon Capture’s Patented CO2LOC technology greatly accelerates natural processes that have kept the planet stable for millennia by converting CO2 to commercially useful Magnesium Carbonate minerals. It also produces sustainable battery metals and silica. Sale of these by-products more than covering the cost of CO2 capture whilst also displacing carbon intensive metals and silica in the market. CO2LOC technology therefore has the potential to achieve net zero without a carbon price.

CCC have recently won a UK Government contract to develop a pilot plant and are hoping to demonstrate the commercial viability of their process by 2024. info@co2loc.com www.co2loc.com

Construction Support Company of the Month

Construction telemarketing and lead generation in one place

In this issue of Sustainability Today, we are pleased to announce Excel TM Group as our Construction Support Company of the Month.

Excel TM Group was established after Managing Director and founder, Mike Dunn, developed experience across the different stages of the construction industry. This began with Lead Generation at Barbour ABI, planning and running Construction Telemarketing campaigns and then finally attending live on-site construction projects. Following a serious illness, Mike was inspired to begin this new venture, and Excel TM Group began life on January 6th 2020. Mike initially had to borrow equipment and at the beginning set up was undertaken in the back room of his own house.

Having this experience and knowledge gave Excel the edge when it came to running construction telemarketing and lead generation campaigns, and the company grew quickly. It is now based in Ellesmere Port, Chester with a team of 16 staff, and an unrivalled level of market-leading intel and expertise has allowed the company to tailor its service and work with partners to create long-lasting and trusting relationships.

Excel TM Group offer construction specific telemarketing and Lead Generation Campaigns ran by experts, and it is the UK’s fastest growing and most efficient, outsource construction specific telemarketing provider. The company has scheduled and physically attended a wide range of meetings which gives it a good, always up to date insight and crucial understanding of the construction sector, and how different stages work.

The reputation of Excel TM Group is built upon results and it focuses on delivering quality so that the client can maximise their return on investment. The company is the partner of choice for multiple organisations across a range of material and service providers within the construction sector and built environment.

This is a crowded marketplace, but Mike commented, “Where we differ from our competitors is that we fully focus on excellent quality, and we value our team. I came from a background in which staff were not fully appreciated, and so we do not micro-manage staff, we allow them to thrive by achieving their potential.”

These experiences are what give Excel TM Group the edge when it comes to running construction telemarketing and lead generation campaigns. This coupled with the capabilities to tailor all services to each customer are the reasons that the company has grown so exponentially in two years and why it received a 96% renewal rate in 2021.

Developed to offer clients a maximum return on investment, Excel TM Group’s services include CPD call campaigns, appointment scheduling, framework and supply chain agreements, product launches, events and seminars, and website audits, all of which guarantee to provide a business with the highest quality leads into the construction and built environment sectors.

Mike continued, “Our target customer base is any company with a product or service that falls into the construction sector or built environment. Our current portfolio includes roofing manufacturers, screening companies, tiling manufacturers, bath fitters and other main contractors.”

One of the most important and crucial points of construction is delivering Continual Professional Development. It does not matter whether your CPD is RIBA approved or not, the fact is they are relevant and deserve to be seen. Construction Telemarketing and Lead Generation is a great way to maximise this, and this is the strength of Excel TM Group, as it can ensure that you will

reach the right people who will specify products on live and upcoming projects.

As the company looks to the future, and following a staff restructure, Excel TM Group plans to be sustainable as a business. Mike concluded, “We have grown more quickly than I expected, and so now the plan is to grow organically. We aim to give opportunities to apprentices and graduates and open up different divisions of the business. We would also like to diversify away from just construction, and move more into built environment and the commercial sector.”

Another crucial telemarketing service offered by Excel TM Group is Appointment Scheduling. When it comes to construction telemarketing there are several different options that need to be established before starting a telemarketing campaign including target audience, data sources

and what would quantify a positive result.

Once these are decided upon the company then help the client to decide what would give them a return on investment as different campaigns mean establishing different appointment targets, including architect or project specific appointments. These are just some of the different appointments that can be set, but clients may want to look at exploring other options also. Excel TM Group tailor all call campaigns, including appointment scheduling.

Company of the Month

Wood waste offers intensive energy users an escape from fossil fuels and delivers savings

In this issue of Sustainability Today, we are pleased to announce Ranheat Engineering Ltd as our Company of the Month.

Ranheat have lived and breathed biomass boilers and heating systems since long before sustainability became topical. The company has been growing steadily over the past three decades as a family-run business, trusted by customers nationwide to reduce costs and increase energy efficiency by designing, manufacturing and installing its UK-made range of industrial woodburning systems.

Based in Northampton, which is where the systems are built and assembled, Ranheat is the successor company to a Danish company that was setup in the 1950s. The UK company was incorporated and became separate in 1991 by Chris & Barbara Franklin, and it currently has 35 staff, including the service * installation teams.

Ranheat manufactures & installs industrial Wood Waste Boilers and industrial Biomass Boilers. Equally importantly, it also services and supports its own systems in the UK as well as providing remote support for the systems outside the UK. The company is unusual in that it is vertically integrated, meaning that it can work directly with customers, manufacture the equipment, and then install and support it afterwards.

It is important to note that as a specialist sustainability company, the company’s work involves far more than just Biomass. Biomass is the burning of audited and processed wood fuel often grown specifically to burn, whereas Ranheat focuses on energy from wood waste, which is wood that is a byproduct of kitchen manufacturing, house building, and furniture. The majority of customers are from the woodworking industry who generate their wood on site which leads to a perfect cycle of waste being produced on the site, then getting

burned on the site and finally being used for energy on the site. Not having to send this waste away for a refining step, saves energy for a client as well as saving them purchasing unnecessary equipment for this task. This is helping Ranheat to develop its growth and even new markets, by focusing on customers that are primarily buying in wood waste.

In addition to industrial wood waste burners, Ranheat also makes systems that may contain a couple of these burners within them – these boilers range from 150kW through to the largest which is currently three megawatts, and current projects include a combination of these working up to eight megawatts.

As the focus on fuel quality for wood chip has increased, so has fuel costs. For many projects we see 5p/kWh for G50 30% chip while closer to 1.5p/ kWh for sawdust, which leads to staggering fuel costs. Over 50 weeks of the year this is a difference in the wood fuel prices of around £350,000 a year. The comparisons to gas and heating oil are huge, potentially £3-4million fuel cost difference.

Ranheat Director, Alexander Franklin, commented, “Gas prices are currently hovering around 12p/kWh, with the potential to increase yet further. However it is possible to get G30 chip for approximately 6p/ kWh with a 20% moisture content, and just 1.5p/ kWh for 10% moisture content. Although there is a larger capital outlay to buy the equipment able to burn industrial wood waste, it makes clear financial sense.”

Many customers have been trapped into buying cheaper machines that require expensive, nearly perfect fuel to burn cleanly. However industrial wood waste boilers require a certain economy of scale, and fuel deliveries need to be made by lorry and ideally in bulk. For fuel to be cheap it needs to be delivered in 40 ton loads, but if a delivery cannot

be made in these amounts, then the cost per kWh is going to increase.

Ranheat are estimating that systems over 150kW can receive fuel with a reasonable cost per kWh, but systems over one megawatt will want to have more than a week’s worth of fuel stored in order for it to have capacity to take fuel deliveries. For a 2.2 megawatt system, switching from gas to industrial wood waste could have a saving of £1.7 million a year.

While much of Ranheat’s work is based in the UK, if clients from further afield approach for help with sustainability, then the company is available. It is currently preparing a project with schools in West Canada, and there are other installations in North America, Singapore and also Lithuania.

Ranheat specialise in giving clients in the sector the ability to burn waste wood. As previously mentioned, this is wood that is a by-product of a manufacturing process and has not been grown and made just for burning. This then allows its systems

to be used as part of the circular economy with short, interlinked supply chains, in which producers of waste wood do not need to send this waste wood to a pellet mill or for further processing in order for it to be used.

Waste wood fire chambers require very different designs and control systems to enable unaudited waste wood to be burnt cleanly. This mean a larger capital outlay but with waste wood costing around 1.5p/kWh compared to 12p/kWh for gas and pellets there is a long-term saving. While prices are rising in so many industries, industrial wood waste is the only fuel in the country to stay at almost the same price as last year.

Alexander concluded, “There are very few companies that make systems that burn industrial wood waste because it is a more involved and inconsistent process to manage. However our systems can burn dust as well as wood waste which can be bought for 1.5p/kWh, whereas other systems can only burn wood chip costing four times this amount.”

As the UK leaders in commercial and industrial biomass boilers for industrial wood waste management, Ranheat has the capabilities to customise its biomass heating systems to be able to use all wood fuel types. This not only helps businesses to save costs but provides a greener carbon neutral energy for businesses and nonprofit organisations nationwide.

Rubbish data: Moving from greenwash to transparency

With the UK Competitions and Market Authority (CMA) now investigating a number of brands over their green claims, companies should be on high alert to avoid misleading customers with spurious environmental claims. One area where we have noticed bold, if questionable, claims being made is the ‘zero to landfill’ promises so often emblazoned on waste company vehicles or touted in waste reports. The recent Zero Waste Europe report Incineration Residues in the EU: Quantities and fates should give waste producers pause for thought. The report found that between 11.3 and 16 million tonnes of incineration residues are landfilled annually, of which around 6.4 million tonnes are from municipal waste. Incineration absolutely has its place – there are waste streams that can have no other fate and some unrecyclable waste being

incinerated for energy production is sensible. But given that regardless of the reason for incineration there are residues and bottom ash that will then require landfilling we should view all claims of ‘zero to landfill’ with extreme scepticism.

It’s easy to understand how these claims have been appealing both to waste management companies wanting to tout their environmental credentials and waste producers wanting to implement ‘zero waste’ policies and targets. And its easy to understand how these claims have gone unchecked and become the norm given the current state of transparency, or lack thereof, in waste supply chains and the almost complete absence of quality data on waste, especially commercial and industrial waste.

We know how hard it is for waste producers to truly understand the fate of their waste currently. Waste management companies are often cagey about sharing information on the onward and end destination of the waste they manage for clients. Some of this is down to worries about sharing ‘commercially sensitive’ information, despite the fact that knowing the end fate of their waste is a waste producer’s legal duty of care. From our experience I would also wage that for a lot of waste management companies they also lack the digital systems to track the waste they manage accurately. This creates a challenge since waste producers are now expecting increasingly detailed waste reporting from their waste contractors and large waste contracts are being won and lost on the basis of the quality of data the customer can access.

Add to this the soon-to-be-introduced mandatory digital waste tracking that Defra consulted on earlier this year and there is a clear necessity for waste management companies to implement digital systems to run their businesses. Once the new system is rolled out regulators will have access to accurate, near real-time data about every waste transaction. Waste producers and waste management companies will be able to see all the transactions in their waste supply chain. When this happens I think we will see a lot of companies having to revise their zero to landfill claims as it will be clear that simply isn’t true in many instances.

Given we can’t define an accurate baseline from the current data available, maybe there should be an ‘amnesty’ on prior waste claims, with businesses being encouraged to start with a fresh slate, using the new data that will be available through waste tracking to set new targets and measure their progress accurately and transparently. Without that, companies can expect to not only be under scrutiny from the environmental regulators but also at risk of investigation from the CMA. Given the enormous challenges ahead of us in the face of the climate emergency we need to be open and transparent about our sustainability efforts and share the learnings that come from both our successes and failures. Better data and digital systems can help with that.

Recycling Machinery Company of the Month

Make the Wright choice for your recycling machinery

Wrights Recycling Machinery Ltd manufactures the original Super Stripper range of cable/wire stripping equipment, and also produces standard models which have the capability of stripping cables from 1mm to 150mm, and it can also manufacture bespoke cable strippers to strip/ process cables up to 250mm. The company’s range of Cable Strippers is growing with additional models all the time. Current models include the Super Stripper 600, the Super Stripper 300, the Super Stripper 170, the small but mighty Super Stripper 60 and Table Top (TT) cable stripping machines.

In this issue of Sustainability Today, we are pleased to announce that Wrights Recycling Machinery Ltd are the recipients of our Recycling Machinery Company of the Month Award.

Established in the 1970s, Wrights Recycling Machinery Ltd was founded by current owner Russell Ridley’s father. The original, patented ideas for stripping out electrical cable was sufficiently significant to make an appearance on the BBC’s much loved Tomorrow’s World programme. It was this idea which propelled the company into decades of work manufacturing, eventually, a whole range of cable stripping machines.

The latest addition to the company portfolio is SS600 Sub Sea, a double-cut stripper which was designed to meet a particular problem of recycling large diameter umbilical cables and subsea risers up to 360mm OD.

Wrights Recycling Machinery Ltd enjoys working in different ways, and always look for the best way to fulfil customers requirements. It can either provide customers with standard equipment from its ranges of cable strippers, shredders and separation systems among many other products, but also the company works with them to develop bespoke solutions to particular, problem materials. It has access to a great deal of knowledge and experience within the company and all customers can benefit greatly from this, and also now exports approximately half of its production with main markets in Europe and North America, as well as other machines going all over the world.

re-used and recycled. In supplying the equipment for the first and only artificial grass recycling plant in the UK, it has created a competitive, low maintenance and reliable system making artificial grass recycling achievable in the UK and worldwide. Artificial pitches contain about 220 tonnes of mixed plastics, sand and rubber per pitch, and they have a working life of about 10 years before they need uplifting and replacing. Lack of effective recycling facilities for this material has led to illegal dumping not just in the UK but across Europe and the USA. Wrights have developed both the machinery and an effective system for maximising the recyclable potential of not just the rubber and sand, but of the plastics as well.

Based between Leeds and Bradford, Wrights Recycling Machinery Ltd specialises in providing operational solutions to the recycling industry, both for metals and plastics recycling. A major problem for the industry is separating out mixed materials, be it mixed metals, mixed plastics or combinations of these combined with other contaminants and associated dirt.

This type of processing is not carried out by single pieces of equipment but by integrated lines of mixed equipment. To achieve this, the company not only make the separation equipment but, shredders, feeders, conveyors, screw, dryers and bagging equipment also. This helps to achieve the various processes required and move the materials between these separate processes. Furthermore, electronic feedback systems can be incorporated in order to increase or decrease the flows of materials required.

The dedicated and loyal team of engineers have a many years’ experience working with Wrights Recycling Machinery Ltd, creating a knowledgeable team ready to serve you. These experienced staff are here to help and advise customers from the first enquiry for recycling equipment, right through to installation, spares, service and repairs. The company aims to provide customers with the best equipment on the market, to ensure that they get the best return price from all scrap and waste materials.

There are obviously other companies that work in this industry, but Wrights Recycling Machinery Ltd works very hard in developing its product range and services to enable it to stand out from others. The main benefit of choosing a Wrights machine is the peace of mind knowing that you are buying a machine constructed from quality materials and components. The company will also refurbish machines (an SS170 from 2004 was refurbished earlier this year), and take old machines – our own and sometimes even others – in part-exchange.

Wrights Recycling Machinery Ltd is always looking to the future in order to improve both its portfolio and profile. While the company is continuing to develop and manufacture its core range of cable stripping equipment, it has also developed equipment for recycling plastics materials, particularly that of old plastic football pitches. This latest innovation cleans and separates the components of artificial grass so that they can be

The company’s machines can be installed and commissioned by its engineers and full operator training is provided. Wrights Recycling Machinery Ltd also offers after sales service for all equipment supplied and any other equipment that needs servicing.

It has a wide range of parts for Wrights cable strippers and other machinery, and parts for its cable strippers are available from stock and are usually delivered within 24 hours. Parts can be fitted by its experienced engineers or supplied for self-installation.

Industrial Shredding Company of the Month

Shredders you can trust

In this issue of Sustainability Today, we are very pleased to announce Ulster Shredders as our Industrial Shredding Company of the Month.

Based at Cogry Works in Castledawson, Northern Ireland, Ulster Shredders was founded in 1970 by Jack Gowdy, and was initially established to work with the aerospace and textile industry. The company has recently completed a 10,000ft2 expansion, taking its manufacturing Headquarters’ capacity up to 43,000ft2, and the new workspace is a dedicated machine shop housing a state-of-the-art machining centre where the in-house production team produce all machine components for its product range. Building on the rich heritage of over 50 years of engineering excellence, this expansion houses world class machinery, for the tailor-made production of precision machined components used in the manufacture of the company’s product range.

Ulster Shredders deliver bespoke shredding solutions, across the whole of Ireland, the UK, into Europe, and even internationally. All shredders are designed and manufactured in-house at the headquarters, where the company produces a variety of machines, and also manufactures and supplies spare parts to all of its machines, and these are stocked and dispatched globally also.

Ulster Shredders service personnel ensure that it has the ability to provide an extensive range of services when customers require them. Whether one piece of equipment or many, the success of client’s business is important, and the highly skilled engineers are involved from commissioning equipment, inspections, through to regular maintenance to keep all purchased products fully operational. Ulster Shredders also provides a comprehensive training programme for all machine operators, equipping them with the correct skills, knowledge, and methods to operate our machines at the highest level.

With clients coming from across the waste and recycling industry, including processing and manufacturing companies, the machines can shred a wide variety of products including paper and plastics, biomass, hard drives, computers, glass and wood, among many other things. Managing Director, Enda Cushnahan, commented, “Any customer can come to us and have any material tested through our shredders first, this helps us to see the output material post shred. This is why all of our shredders are totally

bespoke as we can change and adjust them all to suit the application needed.”

The success of a shredder depends not only on the horsepower which drives it, but also on how the product to be shredded is fed and discharged from it. Ulster Shredders designs and supplies stand-alone machines as well as complete turnkey recycling systems, tailored to the customer’s specific needs, and the company’s Design and R&D Department have repeatedly implemented cost effective solutions to satisfy customers’ unique requirements.

Ulster Shredders employs up-to-date 2D and 3D CAD systems to support the design and research and development of its products, and it also utilises Autodesk Inventor, a 3D solid modelling and 2D draughting software package. This allows virtual 3D modelling of components, along with the creation of 2D manufacture drawings directly from the model – thus ensuring very high design and manufacturing integrity and reduced product design lead times. In addition, utilising AutoCAD software, the company can readily interface with other third-party software, providing direct engineering information transfer with our customers.

While there are other companies offering similar products to Ulster Shredders, it has remained at the forefront of the industry for a number of reasons. Enda continued, “Our relationship with our customers has been at the heart of our success. We engage with them right from the beginning of the product testing process in our R&D facility, through to design, build and aftersales support.”

Current products include the unique and versatile U5 machine, bespoke for the destruction of electronic media, tapes and hard disc drives, through to the U45 which offers a wide range of options, including Standard, Short Bed and Long Bed chassis configurations. However, recently Ulster Shredders has developed the T-50 Tetra 4-Shaft Shredder, which it launched at the world’s leading IFAT 2022 Trade Fair Messe München. All its other shredders are twin shaft, and this introduction of the 4-Shaft model to the range has been extremely successful with much interest in the UK as it has been produced in Northern Ireland. This means that lead times are shorter, and customers can call to check in and keep up-todate on the whole process.

Designed for maximum performance and high productivity, the T-50 has been efficiently designed as machine operator friendly and engineered to shred in different formats, delivering an economical solution to customers.

Consistent with the well-established low speed high torque design on the twin shaft machines, the T-50 delivers a low noise and dust pollution shredder, with a well-developed direct drive system powered by two electric motors directly driving the four shafts through a series of reduction gears.

The T-50 has been designed to allow versatile feeding from all sides via conveyor belt, forklift, lifting and tipping devices or by hand with a pusher available as an optional extra. Its robust design can fit easily into any customers’

production line as an upstream or downstream shredding solution allowing for flexible material discharge options. It is also suitable for a wide range of challenging materials including, mixed material streams, plastics, piping, & wood focusing on delivering a high throughput to a regulated particle size. Ulster Shredders displayed the T-50 at this year’s RWM & Letsrecycle Live exhibition at Birmingham’s NEC among other trade shows.

Looking to the future, Enda said, “We have a number of plans in the pipeline, mainly to grow our product range and to continue to grow our profile including expansion into more countries, and our 4-shaft has been an excellent start to these plans.” With over 50 years of experience, Ulster Shredders is the market leader in the shredding industry.
