Waste & Recycling
MDF component manufacturer Boardtek transformed its waste management operations with the installation of an UNTHA LR1400 wood shredder – significantly reducing downtime and generating cost savings in the process.
Founded in 2011, Pontefract-based Boardtek is a manufacturer of MDF-based products for the furniture and DIY markets. Operating from its modern facility – which it shares with its parent company EDB – the firm produces over 16,000 m3 of high-quality MDF items each month.
Precision cleaning specialist Proficio has advanced its metal processing capabilities, with the move to a new 20,000 sqft building in Livingston, and the strategic investment in an UNTHA RS50.
With long-standing experience in the decontamination of metal turnings and superalloys, the team already had a comprehensive wash-line. With customers all over the world, Proficio uses progressive chemistry to clean, dry, package, and return these crushed materials for global remanufacturing.
With only a matter of weeks left until the world’s leading environmental trade fair – IFAT – shredding technology leader UNTHA has begun to reveal what visitors can expect at this year’s show.
Renowned globally for its continued approach to innovation, Austrian-headquartered UNTHA has often used IFAT as a platform to unveil its latest engineering breakthroughs and performance capabilities. And this year looks set to be no different.
Grassroots Recycling, a pioneer in plastic waste management, has taken a significant leap forward in its commitment to sustainable practices, with the investment into an LRK 1400 shredder from industry specialist UNTHA UK. This strategic step underscores Grassroots Recycling's dedication to enhancing operations and furthering its mission to assist Britain's farmers and growers in responsibly recycling plastic waste.
Busy distribution specialist K Engineering Group is one of the latest organisations to transform the tidiness, environmental impact, and cost-effectiveness of its logistics site, with the help of an UNTHA shredder.
A PS1300 pallet shredder has been installed at the firm’s West Midlands headquarters, saving the business over £15,000 in waste collection fees per year.
The growing business began life as a manufacturer in 1954, but now largely imports and distributes a range of heavy duty nuts, bolts, threaded fasteners and other socket products, from its three UK depots.
