Cleaner, greener and smarter cities
Cities worldwide are wasting large resources emptying half-empty bins, while others overflow, becoming target for illegal dumping and ending up requiring additional services like street cleaning. The fact is that waste collection has not changed since its inception and bins are still emptied on static schedules whether they are full or empty, which we now know results in a huge portion of pickups collecting air rather than waste.

What does Bsi PAS 13 mean for my warehouse?
Health and safety statistics show that approximately 50 people are killed each year and more than 5,000 are injured in accidents involving workplace transport.

Modern Day Use of barges, especially in the recycling business.
Modern barges can carry 500 tonnes each – and more. They can take traffic off congested roads. Due to their fuel efficiency, they produce far less pollution than lorries. So using barges helps meet corporate social responsibility targets. Most of the UK ports are served by major inland waterways and so are well placed for exports/imports. The speaker will discuss the opportunities in the recycling and waste industry.

Achieving zero waste to landfill
Many UK companies are making positive progress on reducing waste, but we need to accelerate the shift to achieve zero waste to landfill.

A better way to develop and fund waste treatment plants?
Developing waste treatment facilities in the UK is an expensive process. It can take years. Several planning applications and amendments may be required. Contracts must be rewritten as funders, contractors and technology suppliers change. Judy and Isabel consider alternative development and funding arrangements to reduce development costs and reach financial close sooner.

Landfill cover up revolution
In landfill’s, every cubic metre of airspace wasted is money lost, which is why operators worldwide are trading traditional, space-consuming daily soil cover for a compact tarpaulin solution that can be re-used over and over again. With the help of Tarpomatic’s Automatic Tarping Machines, they are able to secure working faces in a fraction of the time – and at a fraction of the cost – of traditional soil cover, whilst satisfying local regulatory requirements.
