Our energy assets were “the true stars” of the last calendar year, producing enough energy to power the equivalent of over 6,600 homes. In what Justin Dampney, Eco’s Managing Director, described as a year of record-breaking achievements, Eco recycled:
- 61,191 tonnes of green waste
- 36,960 tonnes of food waste
- 57,930 tonnes of excavated soil
- 51,462 tonnes of wood waste
- 28,903 tonnes of street sweepings
The waste has been turned into green energy and high-quality landscape products.
Other highlights featured in our annual Sustainability Report include:
- Starting work on a new Anaerobic Digestion (AD) facility at our Parley Eco Park. On track for commissioning this October, the plant will generate enough energy to heat more than 7,000 homes.
- Reducing our environmental impact of processing waste by exceeding a five per cent carbon efficiency target, including trialling an alternative to traditional diesel.
- Continuing work on biodiversity projects on our sites including wildflower bunds, reptile shelters, bird boxers and feeders and general land restoration.
Justin said: “Wow, what a year 2024 has been for all of us at Eco.
“Of course, none of this would have been possible without the dedicated teams managing our operations 24/7, 365 days a year.
“I’m incredibly proud of the initiatives, innovations and achievements we’ve accomplished – especially as so many of them were conceived, driven and delivered by our exceptional team.
“As we look to this year, and beyond, we remain dedicated to pushing boundaries and driving progress through our sustainability vales – People, Planet, Progress.”
