Recycling Rates 3 times National Average

Hundreds of tonnes of waste from Nottingham's Council housing improvement programme is being recycled and turned into recycled products and green energy, thanks to an innovative environmental partnership.

Frank Haslam Milan (FHM) is working with Wastecycle to ensure that almost 90 per cent of material including wood, brick, plaster, glass and packaging from hundreds of homes is reused, in a huge range of ways.

In total, more than 660 tonnes of material has been recycled from sites in Bestwood in recent months. New uses for this material range from the creation of woodchip board to producing a waste-based environmental alternative to coal, for use at a cement-making plant.

FHM's recycling rates in Nottingham are believed to be more than three times the national average. Currently, 100 per cent of the waste from its kitchen replacement programme is recycled through the scheme.
