Zero to Landfill
As many manufacturing plants strive towards operating in a more sustainable way to help reduce waste and manage valuable resources here at Freefoam we are doing our bit.
We work with our partner Viridor to process our waste so that none of it goes to landfill.
We have two methods of disposing of production and site waste
Recycling: We work with our waste partner who collect our foam and rigid plastic waste and recycle it back in to pvc. This means that our waste can then be used in other products.
Energy Recovery: Our commercial waste that cannot be recycled is processed...
As many manufacturing plants strive towards operating in a more sustainable way to help reduce waste and manage valuable resources here at Freefoam we are doing our bit.
We work with our partner Viridor to process our waste so that none of it goes to landfill.
We have two methods of disposing of production and site waste
- Recycling: We work with our waste partner who collect our foam and rigid plastic waste and recycle it back in to pvc. This means that our waste can then be used in other products.
- Energy Recovery: Our commercial waste that cannot be recycled is processed in a nearby Energy Recovery Facility. Energy recovery is a technology that sees non-recyclable waste burned at high temperatures under carefully controlled conditions. The process is extremely efficient, robust and safe, with emissions from the process treated to meet stringent European guidelines. Energy created from this process is then sold back to the National Grid to be reused.
