Interest in UNTHA’s revolutionary XR-C waste shredder is gathering pace, as enquiries flood in from alternative fuel producers worldwide.

UNTHA shredding technology is currently working on proposals for more than 250 global prospects, eager to reap the benefits of this innovative new technology. And European orders for the high value capital equipment stand at 5.000.000 EUR for the last six months, with Swiss-based Holcim and SITA the most recent clients to invest in the machine.

Composite panel specialists ISD Solutions has been contracted by Urbaser Balfour Beatty (UBB) to provide state of the art fire walls and compartmentation for the new massive Mechanical and Biological Treatment (MBT) facility, currently under construction for Essex Waste Partnership in Basildon.

Due to commence operations in 2015, the new facility, one of the biggest waste treatment plants in Europe, will process up to 417,000 tonnes of municipal waste from across Essex each year and will play a key role in meeting county’s targets for sustainable waste management and recycling.

Waste shredding specialist UNTHA UK has once again demonstrated its unswerving commitment to quality, environmental and health and safety management, by passing its ISO recertification audit with flying colours.

Viridor, one of the UK’s largest recycling, renewable energy and waste management companies has backed a House of Commons select committee calls to transform waste policy if the UK is to avoid missed recycling targets and the loss of vital UK energy resources.

The firm is currently investing over £1bn in ‘next generation’ recycling and energy recovery infrastructure to help its local authority and business customers translate zero waste policy into practice.

UNTHA UK is one of the country’s leading providers of industrial shredding technology and associated waste management expertise. The company’s consultants and engineers are regularly called upon, not just for their shredding knowledge, but for their wider recycling, product destruction and Energy from Waste (EfW) advice too.

The team has happily passed on as much insight and information as possible over the years, with the website a particularly popular hub of activity. And analysis of online visitor habits shows UNTHA UK’s videos attract some of the greatest traffic levels of all.

Avery Dennison has expanded its European waste disposal programme by appointing Tramonto Antonio srl, an environmental service provider, as its partner in Northern Italy.

The Vergiate, Lombardy-based company has joined a group of designated partners that collect and process waste from label products, enabling converters and brand owners to avoid disposal at landfill sites or incineration plants, and thus improve their sustainability performance.

Member of Parliament for Meon Valley, George Hollingbery, has praised L&S Waste Management for its innovative volumetric concrete operation, following a visit to its Fareham based head office.

Mr Hollingbery was invited to meet with L&S Waste Management managing director, Mick Balch, to discuss proposed new policies put forward by the Department for Transport (DfT), which would see changes to volumetric plant industry regulations.

With more than 200 tonnes of litter bin waste produced by residents and visitors to the city in the average month, Merseyside waste and recycling partners have come together to recycle street litter bin waste.

Liverpool City Council, Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority and their contractors Amey and Veolia will be introducing extra hi-visibility bins at high traffic areas throughout Liverpool during a busy season of events.

The litter bin waste collected currently collected across the City in the most part is recyclable. Previously destined for landfill - recyclable items such as cans, paper, cardboard, plastic and glass bottles - are now sorted and extracted out, so that the valuable recyclable materials can be reprocessed.

It’s estimated that more than 50% of the litter and street waste collected in Liverpool is now recycled.

Cllr Laura Robertson-Collins, Chair of Liverpool City Council’s Neighbourhoods Select Committee said: “We need to increase our recycling rate using all means possible whether it is through waste produced in households or litter deposited in bins in the streets. These new bins are a way we will collect more recyclables and reduce the amount of rubbish which ends up buried in landfill.”

Cllr Graham Morgan, Chairperson of Merseyside Recycling and Waste Authority said: “This is a really important time for the city, and the region as a whole, with the eyes of the world looking at how we do business. By something as simple as increasing the amount of litter bins and recycling, we can ensure that our region impresses at every level.”
