Berry M&H has succeeded in reducing their waste going to landfill to zero at its Beccles site. The small amount of waste which cannot be recycled at the site is incinerated and converted into energy.
The company created internal systems to sort, categorize and store waste streams from the multiple operations that the factory conducts; from producing bottles, tubes and jars, closures and other fitments and dispensing equipment for a wide range of markets. Additionally, an extensive training program was conducted so that employees at all levels were engaged with and enthusiastic about the initiative.
The company consistently monitors all waste streams and internal practices as part of its continuous improvement culture. Also, a new marshalling area was designed and set up to collate waste streams into their respective categories to ensure that their future use would be environmentally beneficial. All of this took a little over a year and the knowledge that has been gained are already being applied to other Berry M&H Sites across Europe and America.
Joe Rahman, general manager for the site, said, "I'm so delighted that we have all worked together very hard to achieve this new status. We care about the environment deeply and everyone on this site has played a massive part in bringing this to fruition. I believe that this has the potential to place us as the foremost manufacturer in this area and an environmentally sensitive supplier to all clients, existing and new."
