CASE STUDY
INTERNATIONAL
RESOURCE EFFICIENCY
Effective waste management is central to our drive for greater
resource efficiency. By maximising reuse, recycling, and responsible
disposal, we ensure that valuable materials are kept in use for as long
as possible, reducing the need for virgin resources and lowering our
environmental impact.
In 2023 we made an ambitious zero waste to landfill commitment. We’re
proud to report that our UK and European businesses achieved 95%
diversion rates in 2024 ensuring all waste is managed in a way that supports
a circular approach. At the time of publication, our US operations are not
yet aligned to this commitment but we will be developing a route map for
integration and have begun waste stream mapping to give us the visibility
we need for informed decision making.
In 2024, we achieved 100% compliant disposal of hazardous waste, and
increased recycling rates across our operations — key steps in using
resources more efficiently and sustainably.
We’re working in partnership with our waste management providers to
find a long term circular option for the recycling of our old pipework and
hosing.
BARREL FOR LIFE
We use a variety of cleaning products to
keep our vehicles and pumps looking their
best and running efficiently. Historically
many of these have been delivered in
plastic containers and barrels - and as a
result single use plastic waste has been a
significant waste stream for us.
In 2024 we took action and introduced
our new Barrel for life system across our
UK branches. This unique dilution system
enables us to refill our barrels with the
exact amount of product we need, saving
money, limiting the need for manual
handling and reducing our plastic waste.
Since its introduction we have saved
31,545 plastic bottles, equivalent to
2,611kg of CO2 saved. We’re thrilled
with the results and are looking at other
ways we might deploy similar solutions
across the business.
