Leading international sustainable waste management business, Shanks Group plc, was delighted to win the ‘Achievement in Sustainability’ award at the PLC Awards last night .
The award recognises accomplishments in the three key areas of economic, environmental and social sustainability. As well as making their own operations more sustainable, the winner of the award will have demonstrated leadership, innovation and a lasting commitment to sustainability.
Shanks Group plc, a leading international sustainable waste management business, today officially opened the new 75,000 tonne Southern Resource Park mechanical biological treatment (‘MBT’) waste facility in Barrow, Cumbria.
The new facility will complement Shanks’ Northern Resource Park MBT facility near Carlisle, which opened in December 2011, in providing a total waste management solution for Cumbria County Council. One of the main outputs from the MBT process will be solid recovered fuel (‘SRF’) which can be used for energy production in a variety of facilities and industrial processes, such as cement kilns.
