Axil Integrated Services manages commercial waste for some of the country’s biggest brands and has begun a three-year contract to manage the waste from LEVC’s (London Electric Vehicle Company) new headquarters in Coventry.
The Total Waste Management firm negotiated the contract during lockdown and started working with LEVC this month to help the environmentally conscious company increase its recycling and work towards achieving its zero to landfill ambition.
Grace Oldham, Head of Business Development at Axil said: “We are very proud to have been chosen to deliver waste management services for LEVC at its Coventry base, and excited to be working with them on the next stage of their waste journey. LEVC is a leading global manufacturer and retailer of purpose-built commercial electric vehicles and its new headquarters is 37,000 sqm and produces 20,000 units a year.
“We have exciting plans in place to boost their recycling rates and are looking to remove up to 30% of their general waste tonnage. We are introducing more efficient equipment to segregate waste streams as part of our efforts to help LEVC move towards its ambition of becoming a zero to landfill company.”
Axil will also deliver training to encourage LEVC staff to engage with the new waste initiatives. Axil will help to educate staff about the importance of waste segregation – which is key to achieving the best recycling processes. Improved signage will be installed across the site to help with this objective.
Axil Integrated Services looks after 350 sites across the country, including some household names including Cummins and Whirlpool.
Total waste management should be so much more than ‘emptying the bins’
Total Waste Management (TWM) is a ‘one stop shop’ solution for the management of all waste streams produced by a business. The service covers every item that either requires disposal or recycling.
TWM is most effective when it covers waste materials across the entire business, from inception to end destination, and final onward disposal routes. This includes the collection, transportation, treatment, and disposal of all waste streams, together with monitoring and regulating the waste management process throughout.
Is now the time to re-evaluate the waste status quo?
With cost reduction and social conscious both high on company agendas, we have never been more aware of the impact of our actions. Waste has always been an interesting category, with customer expectations little more than to ‘empty the bins’.
But should you be demanding smarter solutions?
Companies are often torn between lower cost versus improved environmental performance. The right Total Waste Management partner will not only ‘empty the bins’ but will provide solutions to meet your CSR objectives and tackle rising costs.
