As the 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 provided a thought-provoking exploration of this fundamental shift in sustainability approach.
Rather than the traditional linear “take, make, waste” model, the Circular Economy champions the cyclical reuse and repurposing of materials, minimizing the strain on our planet’s limited resources. Through his insightful presentation, Ryan delved deep into the myriad benefits of leveraging the advanced recovery plant in Berwick, helping attendees gain a comprehensive understanding of how their actions at the facility actively contribute to securing more resilient, future-proof supply chains.
By recovering and reintroducing valuable materials back into productive use, the Berwick facility is reducing waste and 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.
