Derbyshire-based Ward Recycling has gone wild for recycling by expanding its 80-strong waste management and recycling fleet with a customised giraffe material handler and a cheetah wheel loader from Liebherr.
Passionate about recycling and educating people about the positive environmental impact of waste management, Ward takes its zero to landfill targets seriously, while injecting a bit of personality. Handling materials such as general waste, dry and mixed recycling and scrap metal, Liebherr’s fuel efficient LH 30 M ‘giraffe’ material handler and L 538 P ‘cheetah’ wheel loader will facilitate moving, loading and sorting waste materials for recycling and processing.
Commenting on the new acquisitions, Donald Ward, Ward’s Head of Technical & Recycling said: “We’ve taken to customising our fleet along the theme of ‘Wild About Recycling’ with wildlife as it livens up heavy industrial equipment, catches people’s attention and although fun, has a serious environmental message. Educating people about the benefits of recycling and minimising waste to landfill has a positive environmental impact on wildlife for generations to come.”
Darren Bennet, National Accounts Manager at Liebherr added: “We pride ourselves on giving our customers exactly what they need from our equipment and engineering, whether that’s LIDAT monitoring software, maximum manoeuvrability or bespoke boom and dipper configurations for a range of materials handling. This takes the bespoke nature of our equipment one step further.”

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.
