Together with the University of Aberdeen, we have a joint recycling contract with EIS Waste who ensures all waste is either recycled or processed to produce renewable energy. This means 100% of our waste is diverted from landfill.
"We have a policy of diversion from landfill, and we even run all of our general waste materials through our recycling facility to allow for even more resources to be recovered from the waste. The residual material at the back end of our facility is sent to an Energy from Waste process allowing the capture of resource that would be lost at landfill. This means that almost none of our incoming waste ends up at landfill."

This collaboration has ensured both universities benefit from economies of scale, reducing cost and improving efficiency.
