Composite Waste Case Study

Company Issues

This customer had to improve their green credentials and reduce their monthly waste costs. Their main waste streams include; hazardous, GRP (glass reinforced plastic), general waste, cardboard, and plastic.

Overall its waste system was far too expensive and inefficient. In some areas, their waste processes actually posed a health and safety hazard.

Agecko were contacted to provide a total waste management solution. It all began with a free waste audit, and By January 2016, our composite waste management solutions were up and running.

Agecko Solution

• Agecko began with a solution to segregate and recycle 100% of cardboard and plastic packaging. Not only did this save the client £10,000 on average per year by reducing the amount of skips and bins on site it also left the site easy to manage, clear and tidy.
• £4,000 has been saved per year on their main waste stream- glass reinforced plastic (GRP) due to an innovative solution that cut their transport costs in half.
• Agecko has transformed the hazardous waste system which has saved the customer around £4,000 per year and improved health and safety on site.
• On top of these savings, Agecko have continually reduced their costs through innovation. In 2017 annual disposal costs were reaching £59,000 mark. In 2018 this reduced by nearly £2,000.
• This customer now receives monthly key performance indicator (KPI) reports. This report clearly shows recycling percentages, tonnages and costs.
• Agecko manage all aspects of their waste, providing on-going consultation and innovation all under one umbrella.
• This customer has be come one of the first players in the composite industry to achieve ‘zero waste to landfill’. All waste is now either recycled or turned into an energy source.
