Sectors
Material Recovery Facility Operators
Operators of Material Recovery Facilities (MRFs) can benefit from Circular North's expertise in recycling process and recovery improvements. With a network of contacts in the supply chain, Circular North can provide independent advice and assessment.
Local Waste Authorities
Local Authorities can rely on Circular North for independent technical advice on recovery of materials from the waste stream, for scenario modelling to assess the feasibility of sorting and recovering additional materials, and for general waste support.
Food & Beverage
Circular North can provide support to the Food & Beverage industry to help understand their waste streams, identify opportunities for improved recycling and food waste reduction, and to conduct carbon assessments for reporting and decision-making.
Education
School and education settings are an important sector as this can both improve waste management, reduce cost and engage children and students in sustainability. Circular North are eager to assist any education settings seeking to reduce waste, improve recycling or simply talk to students about waste and the environment.
Construction
Construction activity produces over 60% of waste generation in the UK, and although recovery of materials is high, there is limited data on recycling and reuse. Circular North believes that there is opportunity to improve waste reduction, reuse and recyling in this sector and is eager to work with partners to explore this further.
Circular North is also keen to speak to designers and architects to embed circular economy thinking into early stages of the project lifecycle, and overlap this with carbon reduction strategies.
