News: CMD achieve nothing

By

Manufacturing company, CMD Ltd no longer sends any waste to landfill at its head office site in Rotherham, following the implementation of a new Integrated Waste Management service delivered by Biffa, the specialist waste management company.

Based at Eastwood, the company is a specialist in innovative office products including underfloor power systems, lighting and power busbars, lighting control systems, together with office power, cable management and ergonomic solutions.

All of its waste is now sent for recycling.

Graham Gillott, quality manager at CMD Ltd, said: "It is encouraging to see businesses like ourselves working effectively with Biffa to achieve this industry leading target of zero waste to landfill.

"As well as demonstrating the importance of environmental responsibility, implementing more effective recycling services to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill makes good business sense: landfill tax costs continue to rise and increasingly, collection contracts such as this will be the most economic way for businesses of all sizes to deal with recycling as well as general waste. This news is a tremendous achievement for us and demonstrates our commitment to cut carbon emissions across our business.

"All recycled waste is collected by Biffa and rebates are received for recyclable materials, which substantially reduces our costs. Biffa worked with us to implement new recycling systems, introducing a Dry Mixed Recycling (DMR) service for materials like plastic bottles, paper and cans as well as general waste recycling services."

Established in 1984, the company underwent a management buyout in June 2008 and still strongly believe in the benefits and traditions of British manufacturing. 95% of the parts used in the making of the Air and Motion Arms are sourced in the UK, with 80% sourced locally.
