Spill containment specialist sets new industry standards with recycling investment

Empteezy Group installs recycling plant to tackle excess production waste on site

Spill containment specialist Empteezy’s sister manufacturing company Romold is leading the way with a cleaner, greener production waste process at its Livingston facility, which enables waste production material to be 100 percent recycled so that the company no longer has any scrap material leaving the site.

The company is a strong advocate of environmentally friendly processes, and installed the recycling plant to dramatically reduce the disposal of production waste from site and lessen the impact they have on the environment. The company has invested in a pulveriser and granulator to grind down excess material that can then be reused in the production process.

The new plant produces up to 450 kg of recycled material per hour, and once the material has been fully processed the resulting powder is then used in Romold’s production process.

What will wellbeing look like in a workplace dominated by insecurity, gig work and intelligent machines?

British Safety Council says our understanding of changing risks to health, safety and wellbeing needs to improve, in a new report about the future of work

The public debate on the future of work has centred so far on the likely shape of the workplace and its implications for both employers and employees. There has been far less focus on what this might mean for workers’ health, safety and wellbeing. When wellbeing has been considered, the discussion has centred on the present, rather than preparing us for the challenges of the future. Yet, the impact of automation on the workplace will be more fundamental than is commonly understood, with 11 million jobs predicted to be lost in the next 20 years in the UK. As we are already seeing with some ‘gig’ working, (Read More)
