Energy from Waste (EfW) plants, like ours at Rabbit, play a crucial role in waste management in the UK. They form part of the pursuit for a low-carbon, circular economy alongside a suite of major waste management initiatives to tackle the UK waste crisis. What is Energy from Waste? Our Energy from Waste plant burns […]
Recycle Week is an annual celebration of recycling that’s organised by WRAP, the Waste and Resources Action Programme, of which the Rabbit Waste Management is an active member. This year, Recycle Week takes place from 21st September and will focus on thanking the nation for their recycling efforts despite the backdrop of COVID-19 and the […]
We are increasingly aware of the need to rely less on fossil fuels to power the UK and to reduce energy consumption. Managing carbon emissions caused by burning fossil fuels to produce energy is crucial to controlling climate change. While there’s a concerted shift towards renewable energy sources, including Energy from Waste plants, reducing demand […]
Fly tipping is a long-standing problem throughout the UK. In 2016, we discussed how fly tipping ruins our streets and countryside. Since then, the situation has further declined. Critics blame low resourcing, lack of government support and ineffective fines, but the most recent issues have been caused by the Coronavirus crisis. The lockdown impact When […]
Historically, the UK has depended on fossil fuels to generate energy. The problem? Not only are these finite resources, so will eventually run out, but burning fossil fuels is damaging to human health and our environment. Coal supplies a third of energy worldwide. Yet burning coal to produce electricity generates carbon dioxide emissions that are […]
There’s a waste crisis in the UK. As a nation, we need to reduce consumption, increase recycling, turn waste into energy, and embrace a circular economy. Another contentious point in the waste sector is food waste.
The Coronavirus pandemic affected the human race on a global scale. Hundreds of thousands of families tragically lost loved ones, businesses struggled and many world economies were left at an all time low. Yet, here and there, little pockets of light appeared to keep countries going through this terrible crisis. And in true British spirit, […]
In the era of climate change, there’s an increasing focus on how the UK should be powered to minimise the environmental impact. Historically, we’ve relied on coal and gas to generate electricity and decarbonisation. But how is this changing?
Circular economy. It’s a term we hear more of. But what is it? And why does it matter?
When we put our recycling out for collection, we might get a satisfying feeling that we’re doing our little bit for the health of the planet. But not all the items we put in the recycling bin will end up being recycled. Here’s why… What is recycling contamination? Recycling plants are increasingly sophisticated and able […]
