B&M Waste Services achieves carbon neutrality for the fourth consecutive year.
In the past 12 months, offset 2590 tonnes of carbon dioxide by supporting Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) certified clean energy projects and, in total, the company has offset more than 10,000 tonnes in the four year period. The projects reduce carbon emissions via the displacement of fossil fuels.
During the past four years, B&M has invested more than £43,000 in total offset spend on projects in Indonesia, Brazil, China, Turkey and India. It has further invested £1400 on tree planting initiatives in the North West of England.
Among the overseas projects B&M has backed is a landfill gas management and power scheme at the Bantargebang site in Indonesia. The project involves reclaiming the landfill gas and converting it into energy at the power plant.
