Inpress Plastics commits to green waste management

11/6/2017

Inpress Plastics has signed a new agreement with Rabbit Waste Management which runs an ISO 1400 certified waste management plant.

“This is another important step in our commitment to a sustainable environment. By working with Rabbit we are ensuring that our waste is either recycled or used for responsible energy generation.”-Henry Powell (Commercial Director)

Rabbit delivers an eco-friendly waste management solution by the following process;

All waste collected by Rabbit is processed through a fully automated materials recovery facility to remove all recyclable substances: soil, bricks and hardcore go to the construction and aggregate industries; metals are sent directly to metal merchants and plastics are baled prior to going to specialist plastic pre-processors
The remaining, non-recyclable materials are then finely shredded and screened to remove any additional metals before being burnt, in a fully automated and closely monitored process, to generate super-heated steam which drives high-pressure turbines which, in turn, drive a generator to produce up to five megawatts of green electricity
The exhaust from the combustors is treated through a cooling process and filter plant, with all emissions being maintained below permitted levels and monitored 24/7 – even the ash produced is recycled into aggregate.

“We are delighted to have taken this step. Reducing our carbon footprint through energy efficiency is an important part of our commitment to a sustainable environment. Our whole workforce is committed to reducing our energy usage and the company will invest in achieving this goal.”-Henry Powell (Commercial Director)
