Senator's Sustain marks 10 years of recycling

Sustain, part of the Accrington-based Senator Group, has diverted 7.5million kg of waste and packaging from landfill in its first ten years.

From a purpose-built £1.5m, 15,000f sq ft recycling unit in Huncoat, the project takes disused materials, packaging and redundant furniture from its own customers and competitors. It has recycled more than 270,000 items to date, equating to an emissions saving of 8,790,798 Kg/CO2.

All furniture is stripped into its component part and is then either made into other items, recycled or disposed of responsibly.
