In the latest of a series of fundraising events for its charity of the year, Marie Curie, UNTHA UK has announced the launch of a completely new and eye-catchingly unique shredder.

Introducing the custom-sprayed shredder

To mark the occasion and pay tribute to the work that Marie Curie does, the firm has custom-sprayed one of its best-selling shredders — the UNTHA RS40 four-shaft machine — in the charity’s recognisable blue and yellow colour palette. 

Managing Director of O'Donovan Waste Disposal, Jacqueline O'Donovan OBE, has been elected from a pool of prestigious candidates to the esteemed Court of the Worshipful Company of Carmen. This distinguished appointment recognises Jacqueline's exceptional contributions to the logistics and transport industry and her unwavering commitment to increasing diversity, sustainability, innovation, and community engagement.

Toyota gave thousands of motorsport fans at the Goodwood Festival of Speed a taste of how the race and rally cars of the future might sound and perform, showcasing its development of alternative, sustainable power technologies. 

Last weekend’s event hosted the UK debut of the GR Yaris H2, a prototype rally car which uses hydrogen fuel in an internal combustion engine – a development of the three-cylinder 1.6-litre turbo petrol unit featured in the production GR Yaris. At the same time as it significantly reduces tailpipe carbon emissions, the powertrain maintains the sound and feel that are traditionally part of the excitement of watching and participating in motorsport. 

O’Donovan Waste continues to exceed industry standards in its approach to compliance and safety.  Already a holder of a vast number of rigorous accreditations including several ISO standards and the Gold Standard for the stringently audited the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS), the multi award-winning waste management specialist has now secured its Mission Zero accreditation after meeting and surpassing all assessment requirements for the second year.

Mission Zero is a thorough quality standard for the road fleet sector.  Based on a full legal compliance audit, Mission Zero encompasses industry best practice and is officially recognised as meeting contractual requirements including TfL Work-Related Road Risk (WRRR), CLOCS and is equivalent to FORS silver standard.
