Brindleyplace has announced a partnership with Greenzone Facilities Management, a national waste management and recycling provider.
The arrangement is aimed at helping Brindleyplace to hit its ‘sustainable business’ goals.
This has led to new initiatives across the estate, such as extensive use of solar panels, smart meters, air quality monitoring and software analysis to help reduce energy consumption, along with ongoing recycling and repurposing of waste.
Greenzone ‘Total Waste Management’ solutions are built around a shared approach to sustainability and working with its supply chain to maximise the effectiveness, while ensuring business continuity.
It provides real-time management information, data collection, training and engagement for Brindleyplace, and has already made significant changes to day-to-day operations.
Greenzone has a ‘reduction-first’ approach but understands carbon emissions are sometimes unavoidable and so combats this with sustainable offsetting.
It has partnered with Carma, a company that employs veterans and service leavers to plant trees in the UK, both boosting environmental and social wellbeing.
Kristy Pink, head of account management at Greenzone, said: “When Greenzone mobilised the Brindleyplace estate, a new Weightron system had just been implemented to measure the weight of waste generated by each tenant and the type of waste stream.
“The bins are loaded on to a weighbridge and allocated to the correct tenant under the correct waste stream.
“This data allows us to work with Brindleyplace tenants to promote waste segregation and enhance recycling efforts by providing education, training, and conducting site audits.
“This is already successful with significant improvements being noted in the disposal of waste by tenants across the estate.”
Matt Long, senior asset manager for landlord Praxis at Brindleyplace, said: “We’re working with Greenzone to maximise our existing recycling strategy as well as finding new ways to recycle even more material.
“Our continued commitment to refurbishing, repurposing and repositioning this iconic estate focuses on maximising the use of everything that’s here and making it work even harder towards a net zero future.”
