Waste:

Our approach to Waste Management is to continually strive to increase the amount of material recycled from within our company.

Current Activity:

  • The greater part of our cutting oil usage is Reclaim 900 Stuart Oils.
  • This is recycled from our swarf recycling system by way of a crusher and centrifuge.
  • The oil then being re-used in our mult-spindle turning machines.
  • All our metal turnings are recycled via the companies waste contractor.
  • Our cleaning bay uses a fully enclosed Methylene Chloride Ultra Sonic de-greaser being topped up by sealed safe containers with waste being removed in the same way.
  • This system also incorporates a “Still”, further reducing our waste by returning clean fluid back to the de-greaser
  • We operate Horizon Smog Eaters fixed to all Tornos CNC machines keeping to a minimum our air born pollution and returning collected cutting oil back to the machines.

We are currently managing the Environmental standard BS EN ISO 14001:1996, with the intent of certification in 2006.
