The NWH Group Invests £2 Million In Green Super Plant With HSBC UK Support

We have invested in a £2 million recycling super plant that will save 20,000 tonnes of industrial waste from going into landfill each year with asset financing from HSBC UK.

Our new machinery, which is fully operational from today, will feature the most up to date technology including Spaleck waste screening and Westeria air separation equipment to sort through construction and demolition waste more effectively, enabling it to capture 15 per cent more material for recycling.

The material recycling facility, which cost £2.5 million in total, will be able to pick up material that older machinery would have missed. It is also faster, recycling 45 tonnes of waste per hour compared to just 15 tonnes per hour with the older system.

We expect to grow our business by 50 per cent per annum over the next three years thanks to the new super plant, which will help us become more operationally efficient

Mark Williams, CEO at NWH Group, said:

“This investment ensures that NWH Group will have the most cutting-edge facility in Scotland and underpins our vision to eliminate waste to landfill.

“Our previous technology limited our scope for growth, but thanks to the funding from HSBC UK, technology is now helping with our speed and efficiency, and has opened up our prospects for growth. The superplant only needs six men to operate it; we previously had to have nine men assisting the machinery, so it’s enabled us to free up some of our staff to help us elsewhere in the business, which is fantastic."

Marcus Sangster, Relationship Director at HSBC UK, said:

“We’re proud to help NWH Group forge ahead in a way that is both sustainable for the business and the environment with HSBC Equipment Finance. It’s encouraging to see a company with such ambition and strategy in the face of this pandemic and we look forward to seeing how the recycling super plant will benefit both NWH Group and its clients going forward.”

We will run all of our waste through Edinburgh while utilising our existing site network in Scotland and the North of England as waste collection points.
