Recycling is virtually a necessity in the UK today and breweries are using the most up-to-date equipment to deal with waste in the most efficient manner possible. QCR Recycling Equipment supplies recycling and waste reducing equipment to thousands of UK businesses, who all have a common goal of wanting to become greener and to reduce their waste costs. Breweries are no exception and QCR supplies a range of different recycling balers and glass crushers to brewery owned pubs across the UK. The likes of St Austell Brewery, Fuller’s and Hall & Woodhouse all use QCR’s recycling equipment at pubs that produce excess waste. Balers are the best machines for recycling the two most common recyclables, cardboard and plastic. They are ideal for pubs as they have a small footprint, which saves valuable space. Balers are effectively a replacement for recycling bins, which take up more room. Bins are also inadequate for containing cardboard and plastic. The volume of these waste types result in bins filling up very quickly, which can lead to an overflow of waste and regular, expensive collections. Bin collection charges are increasing all the time; by removing bins, these collections disappear. Baled materials are valuable resources and will often be collected by a local recycler for free. Glass crushers are another popular machine with breweries. These crush all empty glass bottles, reducing volumes by 5:1. Crushing glass creates more space inside glass only bins, which could allow for one or more bins to be removed and a heavy reduction in collection costs can occur. A combination of cost and space savings makes balers and glass crushers a real winner with UK breweries. eSight Energy has launched a new website with an intuitive design and solution-led content to improve the visitor experience.
