We achieved the figure by successfully diverting more than 265,000 tonnes of waste from landfill, including recycling:
- 66,908 tonnes of green waste
- 40,976 tonnes of food waste
- 84,082 tonnes of excavated soil
- 55,019 tonnes of wood waste
- 18,392 tonnes of street sweepings
The waste has been turned into green energy and high-quality landscape products.
The figures contained in our newly released Sustainability Report for 2023, showcase Eco’s positive impact on the environment.
In what Justin Dampney, our Managing Director, described as a “fantastic year” Eco also:
- Produced enough energy to power the equivalent of over 6,200 homes
- Planted 50 native tree and hedgerow saplings as part of The Conservation Volunteers ‘I Dig Trees’ initiative
- Sowed 200 square metres of wildflowers at the Weymouth site
- Donated 109 bulk bags of its products to nine different organisations
- Recycled 27 tonnes of Christmas trees, helping raise £57,788 for three charities
Eco’s commitments for this year include sowing more wildflowers, planting more trees and continuing to manage ongoing projects.
Justin said: “We can be extremely proud of all these initiatives and positive results.
“But we’re not resting on our laurels and continue to challenge ourselves to do more through the lens of our sustainability values – People, Planet, Process and Profit.”
Eco has contracts with BCP Council and Dorset Council to handle organic waste from their areas as well as other commercial work.
