Eden Community Recycling is a not-for-profit company that grew out of voluntary group Eden Charity Recycling. In addition to providing sustainable recycling solutions in the Eden District, the company offers work experience to adults with special needs from the Eddington Centre.
Worldwide Novelis recycles over 30 billion cans every year making it the global leader in aluminium can recycling. In the UK the company operates Europe's only aluminium can recycling plant, at Warrington, Cheshire. The Certificate of Excellence is presented by Novelis Recycling to suppliers who consistently provide good quality material. The award system is part of the company's on-going drive to raise awareness of the importance of quality issues. The presence of contaminants such as glass, steel, paper or plastic can disrupt the recycling process, and also pose a health and safety risk.
Eden Community Recycling's Managing Director Colin Nineham comments: 'It is good to be recognised for all the hard work the team has achieved and this award is something that the volunteers can be proud of.'
Novelis Recycling Business Development Executive, Robbie Davies said: 'Eden Community Recycling must be congratulated for their aluminium recycling efforts and particularly their achievement in maintaining excellent quality standards. Across the industry, levels of contamination in can bank material have traditionally been an issue for the recycling chain. We are delighted to be working with such an esteemed organisation as Eden, it is encouraging to receive good quality cans and also help support Eden's work in the community.'
