1 Regent Street Direct Swallow Street recycling facts and figures in partnership with Bywaters 2013 Swallow Street produced 76 tonnes of cardboard Mission Recycling Ltd: Paper and Cardboard Paper of all grades is accepted at our recycling facilities. Paper is sorted into a number of material products and baled, ready to be delivered to paper mills around the world. The baled paper is first added with water to make a pulp, before being screened and de-inked. It is then fed into a paper machine to make new newsprint and packaging materials. Cardboard, once delivered or collected by Mission it undergoes a similar process to paper, although it is sent to different specialist board mills both in the UK and abroad. The cardboard is pulped and screened before entering the board making process to make new cardboard, packaging and card items Swallow Street produced 174 tonnes of Mixed Dry Recycling sort plant, metal and other contamination is removed. The material then goes through 17 Titech optical sorters we are able to separate polymers and colours into individual streams. This enables us to separate the 80:20 PET bottles, which are then shredded and dry washed. Using a Sorema hot wash line, we take the dry washed PET flakes from the sorting process and then further wash them to produce a super clean flake. All contamination such as caps, labels, glues and dirt are removed during this process. Jazz PET flake goes through the same sorting & washing process as the 80:20 flake and bagged into 1t PP bags. To produce our r-pet pellet the hot washed PET flake is put into a Vacurema extruder. The flake is essentially cooked for 1.5 hours at 120 degrees to remove any potential volatiles that could have been in contact with the plastic during its life. At this point the finished food grade approved pellet leaves our site to be used in new bottle production within UK and Europe. This includes: Plastics all types, all types of paper, Empty drinks cans bottles and cartons, and paper cups. AWS Eco Plastics Ltd: Mixed Plastic/PET/HDPE Post-consumer plastic bottles are fed into our Using a Sorema hot wash line, we take the dry washed PET flakes from the sorting process and then further wash them to produce a super clean flake. All contamination such as caps, labels, glues and dirt are removed during this process.
2 275,000 tonnes of plastic are used each year in the UK, that s about 15 million bottles per day; Plastic can take up to 500 years to decompose Total Waste Management Ltd: Metal We handle and process large quantities of ferrous metal each year, and with direct links to international markets through our ship loading facility on the River Thames we are able to maximise our supplier s revenue. We have a fleet of Lorries operating throughout the south-east of England, providing a quick response time with friendly service. Our specialist vehicles also enable us to have an extensive selection of skips ranging from a 3 yard skip to a 50 yard roll-on-off. Being an Authorised Treatment Facility our End of Life Vehicle Centre ensures every vehicle we de-pollute and process has the least impact to the environment as possible. We supply a full range of nonferrous metals and alloys to leading refineries and smelters in the UK, Europe and worldwide. This enables us to supply our customers with prices that surpass what the domestic market can offer. Among our fleet we have specialised nonferrous Lorries that offer our customers a free collection service. We segregate, clean and process all our metal to the highest specification possible using the latest in shears, balers and cable stripping technology. Producing a quality product is reflected in our sales price and this is our platform to offer all of our customers the maximum they deserve for all of their recycling commodities. Paper Recycled paper produces 73% less air pollution than if it was made from raw materials; 12.5 million tonnes of paper and cardboard are used annually in the UK; The average person in the UK gets through 38kg of newspapers per year; It takes 24 trees to make 1 ton of newspaper In order to meet all of our customer s needs, we approach every requirement in a proactive and flexible manner, to give you the kind of experience that will make you want to use us again and again.
3 2013 Swallow Street recycled 242 tonnes of Glass. Every time you put a glass container in a bottle bank or kerbside box you make a difference. You see, if you hadn't recycled that bottle or jar, it would have been dumped at a landfill site and never used again. However, thanks to your efforts it's now in the recycling stream, which means that instead of being wasted it will replace raw material when a new bottle or road is being made, and save space at a landfill site. Well done! Glass is 100% recyclable, that's why when we reprocess your glass bottles and jars, we don't waste any. After your glass bottle or jar is collected by the recycling vehicle, it is brought to a reprocessing plant. Recresco have three of these, located in Southampton, Nottingham and also in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. The glass arrives in Lorries that carry up to 29 tonnes at a time. Every lorry that brings recycle to the site is weighed and the information entered onto a computer system. This way we can tell your Local Authority how much glass has been recycled in your area. Once the Lorry has tipped its load in our storage bay, and when we have enough of one colour glass, we put the pile through the processing plant. The glass is picked up using a large loading shovel, and then tipped into the primary sort hopper. The glass is now carried on conveyor belts and vibratory feeders to the different parts of the processing plant to be cleaned. We have to remove anything that isn't glass. So no Paper, Bottle tops, Cans, Plastic Bottles, Plastic Bags, Stones or Ceramic Cups or Plates are allowed in the finished Glass Cullet. This is because when we send the Glass Cullet to the Glass Bottle manufacturers they put it straight into the furnace to be melted and made into new Bottles and Jars. If we leave any of the contaminates mentioned above in the Glass, they will appear embedded into a finished bottle at the factory. If the glass is delivered to our plant with all the colours mixed together, we separate the colours using very expensive hi-tech optical sorting equipment that can sort 10 tonnes every hour. Recresco currently has 18 of this machine Recresco use only the very latest glass sorting technology, some of which we design and build ourselves. The glass cullet we produce is of such
4 high quality that the Glass Bottle manufacturers can use a much higher percentage of our material than they normally would. Making new glass from recycled glass uses much less energy than using raw materials. The energy saving from recycling just one bottle will power one of the following: A computer for 25 minutes. A colour TV for 20 minutes. A washing machine for 10 minutes. Every household in the UK uses on average 331 bottles and jars each year. If the average household recycled all their glass, enough energy would be saved to power one of the following activities: A computer for 5 days Swallow Street recycled 161tonnes of Food Recycling This was transport via a tanker, the load was taken to an AD facility. Facts regarding AD plant By extracting methane out of waste and using it to produce heat and/or electricity we ensure that the waste will not degrade in an open environment therefore reducing direct methane atmospheric emissions. Moreover, the energy provided by the biogas is likely to displace fossil fuel which is the main contributor to GHG emissions. Biogas energy is considered carbon neutral, since carbon emitted by its combustion comes from carbon fixed by plants (natural carbon cycle). However, when we convert biogas to electricity, in a biogas powered electric generator, we get about 2 kwh of useable electricity, and the rest turns into heat which can also be used for heating applications. 2 kwh is enough energy to power a 100 W light bulb for 20 hours or a 2000W hair dryer for 1 hour. What happens to the waste after digestion? Despite popular belief, the amount of waste going in the digester is almost equal to the amount coming out. However the quality of the waste is altered for the better (less odour, better fertilizer, organic load reduced, less polluting) The solid part can be composted and the liquid part can be used as liquid fertilizer or can be treated further and disposed. For example: On a farm the manure is not considered to be a waste but a fertilizer. By installing a digester the farmer can profit from the biogas by reducing odours and enhancing the fertilizing value of the manure.
5 In an agro-food industry the digester can be used as a primary waste treatment unit where the biogas is used to offset some energy cost in the plant and to reduce the size of the secondary waste treatment. Anaerobic digestion plants are already supplying both renewable electricity and renewable heat and, unlike wind power and solar energy, they can run for 24 hours, 365 days a year. One tonne of food waste using our process will replace one tonne of maize grown as an energy crop. Capturing the biogas from 1 tonne of food waste saves between 0.5 and 1 tonne of CO2 Source: Environment Agency. 13 tonnes of food waste generate enough electricity for 1 house for a year Source: Bio Gas Info 2013 Swallow Street produced 493 tonnes of Energy from waste. Waste to incineration While re-use or recycling are higher up the waste hierarchy, the remaining waste is sent to waste for incineration, the plant it is sent to generates 478, 000 MWh of electricity per annum, equivalent to consuming 191, 000 tonnes of coal or 95 million m3 of gas, enough to power 100, 000 homes. Interesting facts about the waste you produce? General Facts 1 recycled tin can would save enough energy to power a television for 3 hours; 1 recycled glass bottle would save enough energy to power a computer for 25 minutes; 1 recycled plastic bottle would save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for 3 hours; Up to 60% of the rubbish that ends up in the dustbin could be recycled. The unreleased energy contained in the average bin each year could power a television for 5,000 hours; On average, 16% of the money you spend on a product pays for the packaging, which ultimately ends up as rubbish; As much as 50% of waste in the average dustbin could be composted; 9 out of 10 people would recycle more if it were made easier; 70% less energy is required to recycle paper compared with making it from raw materials.
