As Site Manager for the Berwick-upon-Tweed Treatment and Transfer facility, Ryan Reay recently took the initiative to share his extensive knowledge on the critical topic of Waste Management and the Circular Economy.
In a captivating webinar hosted in partnership with IEMA (Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment), Ryan delved deep into the myriad benefits of leveraging the advanced recovery plant right here in Berwick. By focusing the discussion on how these innovative recovery processes can help close the loop on our finite natural resources, Ryan provided a thought-provoking exploration of this fundamental change in approach to sustainability.
Rather than the traditional linear “take, make, waste” model, the Circular Economy champions the cyclical reuse and repurposing of materials, minimising the strain on our planet’s limited reserves.
Through Ryan’s insightful presentation, attendees gained a comprehensive understanding of how our actions at the Berwick facility actively contribute to securing more resilient, future-proof supply chains. By recovering and reintroducing valuable materials back into productive use, we are not only reducing waste but also cultivating a more sustainable, closed-loop system that will safeguard access to critical resources for generations to come.
Ryan’s webinar served as a powerful testament to the positive impact that can be achieved through the implementation of Circular Economy principles, inspiring all in attendance.
