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

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

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?

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 some percentages to show which parts of the bottle are used for what objects etc. What do you think? Would the viewer benefit from this? 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
