What More UK is showing its continued commitment to the environment and sustainability by employing a new works manager with a background in environmental management. New recruit Lee Morris will help the housewares manufacturer develop a new environmental strategy.
“When you work for a large manufacturing company it can be difficult to gain an overview of all the operations and see the bigger picture,” explains Lee. “One aspect of my role is to do just that: to get an overview of the different business units and help develop an wider environmental strategy for the future.”
What More UK has been nominated as a finalist in the European Plastic Recycling Awards for its Wham Upcycled range of storage boxes made almost entirely from post-consumer single use plastics. The company also produces a range of products made from post-industrial plastics, off cuts from other products and processes like car bumpers and dashboards. It is now purchasing post industrial scrap plastic from other manufacturers to keep up with demand.
What More also operates a zero to landfill policy for its general waste and Lee has calculated that the company has diverted 92 tonnes from landfill since December 2018.
