This is the true danger of Li-ion batteries entering the waste stream These erroneous and misplaced batteries can cause so much damage and potential disruption to business. In this incident our sister business Helios Fire Systems Ltd has confirmed the impact of such fires is growing exponentially and this incident could have been catastrophic and potentially business ending. Garry Adey also commented “even though these advanced system are initially expensive, they truly pay for themselves immediately with events such as this one this weekend”. Having an advanced vision based detection system like Lionvision can help with the prevention of these type of batteries entering the waste process. 🦁👁️

Chain of custody means that we can assuredly buy timber that has come from sustainably-managed PEFC-approved forests and lets us see the journey that the wood has made to reach us and our customers. #pefc #Building #PanelProducts #safeandlegalchoice #panelproducts https://lnkd.in/eytyPJYb

Another week another fire successfully detected and extinguished. This goes to show the true value of the Helios Fire Systems Ltd ATFS advanced early warning targeted fire system. The system again has detected very early the deep seated fire most probably caused by an incorrectly disposed Li-ion battery. Hope everyone at CSH Environmental and Mark Slade, Daniel Cox are all okay and have the peace of mind that their investment in our systems has paid dividends and safeguarded them again and for the future. #recycling #ATFS #fireprotection #automaticfiresystems #firesuppression #targetedfiresuppression #wasterecycling #wastemanagement #fireengineering #PYROsmart #cannons #turrets #expertsintargettedfiresuppression #firesafety #circulareconomy #wasteplantprotection #thermalimaging #intelligentfirefighting #innovation #Heliosfiresystems #wettingagents #intelligence #No1 #onlythebest #orglmeister

Delivery day at WRC! Nine brand-new skips arrived at WRC this morning ready to service a series of construction site starts✅ As our Construction portfolio continues to expand, WRC is committed to making the necessary investments required to support our customers pipeline of work. Now more than ever, the Scottish Construction industry is strengthening its supply chains with partners that can support its journey to achieve net-zero, and well-planned waste management is essential in ensuring this journey remains on track. We look forward to growing our relationships with our current and forthcoming Construction partners♻️👏 . . .  #WRC #WRCRecycling #recycling #zerowaste #sustainability #recyclingplant #MRF #material #reuse #tradewaste #construction #constructionwaste #commercialwaste #businesswaste #bins #wheelinebins #wastemanagement #businesswastemanagement #growth #expansion #partnership #recyclingplant #netzero #building #roofing #skips #skipdelivery #materialrecovery #renfrewshire

At Structure Tone, we’re proud to walk the talk when it comes to sustainability, especially during the renovation of our new 'Client Experience Hub' at our NYC office (330W34). We partnered with Shaw Contract, leveraging their re[TURN] takeback program, to reclaim carpet tiles during the demolition phase and send them back to the manufacturer (to be recycled into new products). This initiative has been successful on many of our projects, showcasing how innovative sustainable construction practices can create a lasting impact. Let’s keep driving the future of circularity in our industry! 🌍♻️ #Sustainability #CircularConstruction #ZeroWaste #CarpetReclamation #InnovationHub Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/edFFa6Z3

Collaboration on simple yet effective measures to benefit all.

I was honored to offer a National perspective on C&D recycling today at Environmental Business Council of New England, Inc. 19th C&D Summit. To maximize recycling rates we need strong end markets. For strong end markets, we have to promote the (environmental and economic) value of recovered materials and make quality “spec” products that instill confidence and long term commitments to using them. We also need smart policies that balance environmental protection and material recovery while limiting unintended consequences. Let’s continue this important conversation at Construction & Demolition Recycling Association (CDRA) ‘s annual C&D World in Dallas March 11-14th! https://lnkd.in/geSDWfFy

Definitely a worthwhile free to attend webinar and heres is just a few reasons why? 1. Fire safety in flats 2. Increased recycling rates 3. Happy residents owners and tenants

One way of ensuring Breyer continues “Sustainably Improving Homes & Communities” is by working with brilliant organisations like Community Wood Recycling (CWR). Our Breyer Renew team in Stevenage is one of our contracts making good use of CWR’s services, saving a little on the alternative cost of using skips and supporting a charity that brings real social value to the local community.   Matt Charnley, Site Manager for Stevenage, comments on their involvement with CWR: “CWR offers a fantastic service that is very cost effective, especially as most timber such as fence panels is now classified as hazardous waste due to the treatments and paints used on them, which makes removal of them very costly. In Stevenage, we mainly use CWR to collect old fencing and pallets. We are also using them on our decarbonisation contract for B3 Living where we’re looking to get some planters built and perhaps a bench or two.”   CWR has recently celebrated its 25th anniversary and, with it, some impressive statistics. The company collects good, reusable timber from construction sites (palettes, batons or other quality wood), and then prepares the best bits for reuse elsewhere; recycles other pieces into products or cuts smaller bits into firewood. This process has meant zero waste to landfill from the 244,020 tonnes of wood they have collected to date, averting the equivalent of 120,000 tonnes of CO2 and saving 388,000 gallons of diesel compared with that required by a skip lorry for the same amount of waste. #BreyerGroup #recycling #sustainability

WISH SME committee members have recently attended a meeting hosted by John Gosling Managing Director at TJ Waste & Recycling Ltd in Portsmouth following a Lithium battery fire that destroyed their site in July 2024. The site is due to re-open in February 2025 at cost of 1.5 million pounds. There is a concern that these fires will lead to a situation where insurers will decline to offer cover in our industry given the frequency they are occurring. Barnbrook Systems Ltd demonstrated their new E:bag https://lnkd.in/exDwEMKx that were originally designed to secure overheating phones and laptops onboard aeroplanes. The plan is to roll out a cost effective system to for the recycling sector that will provide a safe way of storing and transporting batteries that can be re-used. A thankyou to TJ Waste & Recycling Ltd, Barnbrook Systems Ltd, Deep South Media, Grundon Waste Management, Matthew Lee, Richard Dunn, Reg Hodson, Kelly Nichols, Jack Daniel MacFarlane and Stuart Etherington CMIOSH BHP Group, Leaders in Safety and Employment Law. #fire #wasteandrecycling #lithiumbatteryfires #thermalrunaway #recycling Other useful links: https://lnkd.in/eQZr5hBB and https://lnkd.in/eMg4_Qd6 Please see the link to the BBC One Show at TJ Waste to discuss the E:bag https://lnkd.in/eD8gFTTa
