Increased focus on the environment
Site Managing Director; Steve Dunne says: ‘With the increasing focus on the environment in our day to day life and the spiralling costs for disposal of waste materials through landfill, it was critical that we reviewed our processes in this area.  This is a problem we all face in our daily lives and it is becoming key in any manufacturing business.'

Steve continues: ‘In the next 12 month period we had forecast a disposed waste figure of approximately 1,000 tonnes from our operation.  The majority of this was laminate which was compacted and then taken away for landfill.  With the investment in equipment increasing our operational capacity and the uptake we have in now operating on a 24 hours per day, 7 days per week basis, it became a key consideration as we would have to have emptied the compactor on a daily basis to deal with this increased tonnage.’
