Read more about how we saved over £50,000 and cut transport emissions by 75% at a global heavy equipment manufacturer
The Client
A global heavy equipment manufacturer operating a major UK production facility, generating approximately 5,500 tonnes of diverse waste streams annually — including cardboard, paper, LDPE materials, and wood waste.
The Challenge
Managing high-volume, multi-stream waste across a complex manufacturing operation presented significant operational and environmental challenges. The client needed to reduce administrative burden, improve recycling performance, and find more sustainable disposal pathways — all while maintaining the pace of a demanding production environment.
The Solution
Waste Efficiency implemented a data-led, sustainability-first total waste management solution, acting as a single point of contact across all waste operations. This included:
Installation of two fully automatic balers for on-site segregation and processing
Deployment of an industrial wood shredder, reducing wood waste volume by 75% and cutting skip movements — and associated transport emissions — by a factor of four
Full management of third-party subcontractors
Regular audits and behavioural change programmes to drive better waste practices across the site
The Result
Over £50,000 in cost savings, significantly increased recycling rates, reduced carbon emissions, and materials diverted away from less valuable disposal pathways — waste minimised, value maximised.
