2021 saw Corby-based Axil Integrated Services grow by 100 per cent. Revenue jumped from £11m to £22m in 2021, with the company on track to deliver significant growth in the coming year.
Axil helps businesses work towards zero waste by eliminating waste in their facilities, encouraging reuse, reducing manual handling, and increasing recycling rates. Amongst Axil’s clients are Whirlpool, Birdseye, McLaren and LEVC. The company also supported the rollout of rapid testing by providing waste services to UK Covid testing sites.Axil can reduce businesses' waste management costs by passing value from recycled materials back to the customer. In some instances, the revenue from waste rebates will total more than the cost of the waste services provided.Axil regularly reviews the market to give customers the best value on materials and helps them work towards cost reductions through efficient waste management processes.Ed Pigg, Managing Director at Axil Integrated Services, said: “We’re delighted with the growth in our business. The Environmental aspect within ESG is becoming a priority for many businesses. The UK Government is targeting a 65 per cent municipal recycling rate by 2035, so waste segregation must be the focus for any proactive waste partner. We’re working with a number of dynamic, forward-looking companies to help them achieve zero waste while reducing their operating costs.”David Sherrington, UK and Ireland Energy, Environmental, Health and Safety Manager at Whirlpool, said: “Axil has been key to Whirlpool achieving Zero Waste to Landfill at both our HQ and Yate Factory. We outlined our needs, and the Axil team used all their skills and experience to ensure that we followed the waste hierarchy. That meant not just avoiding waste to landfill but actively seeking out better ways to then recycle – and doing so in a way that produced a better quality of waste stream whilst driving down costs for the whole operation.”

How will the government and DMOs address the challenges of including glass in DRS while ensuring a level playing field across the UK?
There's no easy solution to include glass in the DRS while maintaining a level playing field. Potential approaches include a phased introduction of glass, potentially with higher deposits to reflect its logistical challenges. The government and DMOs could incentivise innovation in glass packaging design and subsidise dedicated return points for glass-handling. Exemptions for smaller businesses unable to handle glass might also be necessary. Any successful solution will likely blend several approaches. It must address the differing priorities of devolved administrations, balance environmental benefits with logistical and cost implications, and be supported by robust consumer education campaigns emphasizing the importance of glass recycling.
