The NEC is well served by public transport but if you have to travel by car you can save money and minimise your carbon footprint by using Liftshare. Go to http://bit.ly/liftshare to register and share your journey. Liftshare is one [...]

If you look at the seminar programmes or the exhibitor listings for RWM you will see how central energy has become in the issue of how we deal with our waste.

Although the agricultural industry only employs 1.3% of the UK population it produces around 10% of our country’s annual industrial and commercial waste, which is why recycling and effective waste management policies are so important to the sector.

A new ‘coalition agreement’ and a fresh programme of measures to push the UK towards a low-carbon economy; but many questions still remain over the detail.

Food waste in the UK is around 18 - 20 million tonnes a year according to WRAP. Once in landfill food breaks down and can produce methane - a greenhouse gas 25 times more powerful than CO2. It also contaminates everything it comes into contact with rendering it non-recyclable.

What is RWM about? Yes it’s about Recycling and Waste Management! But this is a marketplace too. This is about business driving our green agenda forward. Which brings me to anaerobic digestion. Definitely a buzzword at RWM 2009. I popped along to an interesting, very compelling, seminar given by Jakovos Theodoridis of Bekon. He was [...]

I thought some of yesterday’s seminars were busy, but such was in the interest in Powering the Future through Food that they were standing in the aisles to hear this one. Philip Simpson, Commercial Driector of PDM group and Dave Timson of Sainsbury’s took us through what the retailer is doing to achieve its target [...]

Recycling stations located around the exhibition will enable both visitors and exhibitors to segregate their paper, plastic bottles and general waste throughout the show (including the build up and break down periods). The dry waste collected will be taken to Mil-tek [...]
