Email to Neil Battery (Viridor)
Dear Neil,
My name is Andy Richmond and I am a 3rd Student at the Arts University College at Bournemouth. I spoke to one of receptionists this morning about the possibility of coming up to Crayford and having a look around. I am doing this because for my final major project I am looking at the journey of waste products. I would like to learn about the different processes of different materials and what happens to them after they leave your facility. If you have any information or statistics on what products your recycled materials are turned into I would be really grateful.
I am looking to visit quite soon, during my Easter break around the 14th, 15th or 16th of April?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Yours Sincerely,
Andy Richmond

Email to Colin Stent (Sitr)
Dear Colin,
My name is Andy Richmond and I am currently studying in my 3rd year at the Arts University College at Bournemouth. Your company recently started following me on Twitter and as it happens I am currently doing a project on recycling waste.
From what I have researched on your website you are an electrical recycle company dealing mainly with computers. My project looks at objects after they have been recycled and what they are turned into. Do you take computer parts and renew them to reuse them or do you grind them down to use as completely new products?
My aim is to create an Ipad application aimed towards local governments to give to their local communities to show why it is good to recycle products and to give the viewer a little more insight into where their recycling goes and what it is turned into. Maybe including percentages of the different parts. For example the outer shell of a monitor maybe recycled into one product, while the screen could get recycled into something completely different?!
I hope you can help me out, I would really appreciate some of your advice.
Yours Sincerely,
Andy Richmond

Email to Bill Griffiths (Viridor)
Dear Bill,
My name is Andy Richmond and I am a student at the Arts University College at Bournemouth. I briefly spoke to you on the phone this afternoon about the recycling project I am doing at the moment.
I am emailing you to ask if you had any information on what recycled objects are turned into after they have been through the Viridor process? In particular I am looking at the journeys of objects for example a plastic bottle. From doing a small bit of research I have found out that it is partly turned into a fleece jacket. What part of the bottle is used to make this? are the label and lid used for a different recycled object?

Is their anything I could add to make it more engaging?
I have been in touch with your Crayford MRF and I’m hoping to get a tour of the facility to widen my knowledge of the recycle process. As a senior member of recycle management I would appreciate some of your advice.
Yours Sincerely,
Andy Richmond

Dear Tessa,
My name is Andy Richmond and I am currently in my 3rd year of Visual Communication at the Arts University College at Bournemouth, I am writing to you as I am currently doing my final major project on recycling waste material.
In particular I would like to find out the most interesting journeys of waste material such as plastic bottles and find out what each parts output is.
If it was a plastic bottle for example what percentage of it is used to create new products, what the lid is recycled into, what the label is recycled into and how much of it is wasted etc.
Is there any products you deal with that have a particularly interesting journey?
I would really appreciate any help you could give me towards my project or anyone you can put me in touch with who could help me with some more info.
Yours Sincerely
Andy Richmond

Hi Andy,
Apologies for the delay.
It takes about 8 minutes for materials to be sorted through our Materials Recycling Facility at Ford, West Sussex from feeding them in the hopper to being baled.
To recycle and reprocess newspaper to newspaper or cardboard box to cardboard box takes between 6-7 weeks.
The streams and bale weights are below.
Tessa
Three streams and average bale weights are:
News & Pams - 800kg
This includes newspapers, magazines, brochures, yellow pages, white paper, leaflets
Mixed Paper - 940kg
This includes cereal boxes, cardboard, paper wrapping paper, greetings cards, tetrapak, ben and jerry style cartons
OCC (old corrugated card) - 780kg
This is all cardboard with the wavy line of card in the middle, the majority is brown card

Dear Michael Filer,
My name is Andy Richmond and I am currently studying in my 3rd year of Visual Communication at the Arts University College at Bournemouth. I am writing to you as I am currently doing my Final Major Project on Recycling. In particular I would like to find out the different ways in which you promote recycling in Bournemouth and why you think it is important for people to do so.
If you have any statistics on our recycling methods for the past year it would be greatly appreciated, I will be getting in contact with Viridor whom I hear deal with the recycling of our waste I am interested in what waste is used for to recycle into new everyday objects such as drainage piping, car upholstery, fleeces etc.
My aim is to create an Ipad application that gives a more engaging experience to viewers as to why recycling is important and to produce a motivation for viewers who don’t normally recycle.
I would very much appreciate your insight and I look forward to hearing from you soon,
Yours Sincerely,
Andy Richmond

TLK 3 - Freelancing
The third TLK lecture invited two freelance designers: Joel Lardner (an illustrator) and Chris Wharton (a web designer). Jane Richardson who is a senior member of recruitment agency Aquent was also there.
The main subject of the talk was looking at how students were to get a foot in the door with companies, how to approach them and employability. As a freelancer the most important thing is to create the best professional profile you can. Whatever research you can do into a company they can do into the employee too. There were some helpful suggestions of links to look at such as behance and sortfolio two types of online portfolio. When looking for jobs twitters tweet deck could be a useful resource.
It has influenced me in my extended major project, because it has made me think about how graduates look to the employer. There are plenty of social networking sites to build profiles and brands, including Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter. When a prospected employer can type a candidates name into google, the first thing that comes up will be these social networking sites... so it is important to keep professional and personal profiles separate.

TLK 2 - The creative process
The second in the series of TLK lectures invited back David Burton of Redweb, Bella Lewis Smith of Salad, Ross Cleaver of Revolting and Paul Leon who is a Freelance designer.
Like the first lecture there was a layed back atmosphere to the discussion, which brought out some key points in the creative process, one of the main topics being the perception of freelance work, should artworkers be paid for work while they are at University to boost their portfolios or should payment be the experience gained from working with a client? There was a good spread of views from students on different courses, mainly illustrators doing work on magazine artwork.
I had the opportunity to speak with Ross Cleaver, who had spoken of working in Australia for a year. This was a worthwhile opportunity to find out some information as it was one of my options in the pipeline after I leave Uni. The main objectives I learn't were through inspiration. In order to be inspired I need to keep life fresh, do something different each day and be curious about everything, that way I can spark ideas more easily.

TLK 1 - Networking
This was the first lecture from TLK, this week was about networking and there were three guys from industry speaking about their past experiences. They were from local companies based in Bournemouth including: South west screen, Thinking juice and Redweb. The main subjects were looking at communication, creative clusters and social networking.
All three representatives were friends in industry which helped the interest of the talk. The main things I learned through this experience were when speaking to prospected people in industry it is important that I bring something to the table, even if its just a piece of research that could inspire someone, know what my audience is and stay at the forefront of their minds to improve regular communication.
From gaining work in my portfolio and working with industry professionals I would be improving my reputation as a person in industry.
