Carbon Footprint

As we operate vehicles and plant on our sites, we inevitably contribute ourselves to global warming. A decision was taken some years ago to ensure our own impact upon the environment was as minimal as possible.

To ensure this we utilise our vehicles to their full potential by tracking our vehicles and having data services and two-way radio in every vehicle. This ensures the shortest daily routing of our vehicles. Secondly that a regime of renewing vehicles and plant on a regular basis ensures only the latest, lower emission vehicles and plant are used.

It was also decided to take a step further than our competitors and establish a wildlife habitat with two fishing lakes, and an area to plant enough trees to offset our own carbon footprint.

The twenty-acre site complete with wind pump already attracts various kinds of native birds, animals and insects. As the site establishes over the next few years, so will the wildlife. Offering perfect protection to those endangered species.

Our commitment for our customers to reach the holy grail of Zero Waste to Landfill is one of the fundamental objectives that underpins our thoughts and processes here at briers. We have invested heavily in eco-positive technologies so that we can ensure our customers are firmly on the path towards zero landfill and sustainable waste management. Our unique Material Recycling Facility at Amington, Tamworth allows us to capture as much of the recyclable material as possible from the general waste stream, meaning that only the true, non-recyclable element is sent to our partner waste to energy technology plant. Here at briers, we feel this process is 'Best Practice' in sustainable waste management terms and passes on impeccable green credentials to our customers. With doing this gives our customers a guarantee that their non hazardous waste is recycled in some way or another.
