VES is now certified as a zero waste to landfill company, a great achievement in how we manage our waste streams.

In March 2018, VES partnered with SWM and Waste Recycling Limited who undertook an assessment of our waste management system. Since then, we have been working together to ensure we process our waste effectively and efficiently.

From a roller packing machine to compactors, numerous skips and balers, we are now well equipped to deliver an environmentally friendly offering as part of the VES service.

Commercially and environmentally we are ahead of what we projected, however we still have a lot of work to do. This is great news which we hope to improve on and sustain.

Fabian Gillgower, VES Procurement Manager, reported that since initiating the project, there have been numerous benefits to the Eastleigh sites. SWM have improved VES’ knowledge of the waste market, provided industry information and have helped achieve better environmental compliance. Fabian added “Working in partnership with SWM has ensured that principles of waste hierarchy are being applied, prevention, minimisation, re-use, recycling, energy recovery, disposal and ‘zero waste’ to landfill. We are delighted with the results so far”
