Waste Management
( contaminated liquids ) into the Sheffield region . To rectify the situation , we collaborated closely with the Environment Agency to clear the site and have since brought it back to life in a safe and compliant manner . Now equipped with a cutting-edge sorting line , the Sheffield facility efficiently sorts mixed waste into separate waste streams , facilitating recycling , recovery , and reuse as it comes in . By investing in this new plant , we have not only been able to mitigate its environmental impact but also expand our operating area to the Sheffield city region ,” explains Emma .
Diving further into the benefits brought about by this investment , Emma reveals how the Sheffield site will strengthen KCM ’ s ability to serve both new and existing clients . “ Although we could have simply kept driving our trucks
... our culture fosters a strong sense of family values
from our headquarters in Rotherham to wherever they are needed , this does not align with our commitment to the environment . The Sheffield site , which also serves as a transfer station for our fleet , allows us to keep our vehicles in the local area where they are needed , thereby eliminating the need to drive unnecessary miles . Our carbon reduction strategy is a key
element in forging the future of our business , and reducing travel positively impacts our carbon footprint . Furthermore ,
being based in the city of Sheffield allows us to react to our customers more rapidly and efficiently . As a family business , our clients are
at the heart of everything we do , and I believe this investment will significantly enhance our ability to serve them and continue to grow sustainably ,” she adds .
