Recycling<br />
O’Donovan is committed to sustainability and the circular economy and we demonstrate<br />
excellence in environmental practice by recycling 100% of the one million tons of waste we<br />
process annually. We have invested heavily in our materials recycling facility at our<br />
Tottenham HQ as well as at our £15m sustainable waste processing facility in Alperton,<br />
contributing to and improving the recycling infrastructure in London.<br />
Incoming waste is weighed and sorted by mechanical equipment and physical sorting. It is<br />
segregated into waste streams with reusable items being shared on our ReUse Hub<br />
website, making reusable items available for use in community projects. Recyclable<br />
materials such as cardboard, wood etc. are sent to their next destination to be made into<br />
recycled-content products.<br />
Construction waste like bricks are processed on site using state of the art equipment<br />
and then graded as per the WRAP quality protocol. These recycled aggregates are reused<br />
in construction projects and come with quality certification. Any waste that cannot be<br />
reused or recycled, is baled and wrapped and sent to Energy from <strong>Waste</strong> Plants to convert<br />
into power.<br />
