Social Firm Haven Recycle Open
HRNew Facility in Renfewshire

Wednesday 23rd November 2011

Social firm, Haven Recycle, which provides employment for people with disabilities in Renfrewshire, is to open a new dedicated, secure recycling facility in Hillington Industrial Estate in early 2012.

Earlier this year, Haven Recycle was established to provide a range of services, from waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) recycling to information security management. Up until now, it has shared a building with sister company Haven which carries out a range of contract work, including product packaging and assembly. Now, due to increased demand for recycling services from both the public and private sectors, a new facility has been secured.

One of Haven Recycle’s key customers is NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde. Andrew Reid, Asset and User Provisioning Manager at NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde said,

"Haven Recycle has been working with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde for more than six months now, and has been delivering a reliable, cost-effective way of realising value from our redundant IT assets. They deliver a service which is both professional and competitive, and which ensures our WEEE is dealt with in the most sustainable manner possible, whilst providing best value for the taxpayer. In addition, it is a good fit for the NHS ethos to be supporting a social enterprise in this manner, and we welcome the news that the continued success of their business has led to the need to open a new, dedicated facility. We hope to continue to partner with Haven Recycle, and look forward to building on the good relationship that's been established."

haven]Ewan Fisher, Haven Recycle Sales Manager said, “It has been a very exciting year for Haven Recycle, from starting a brand new operation to finding ourselves in a situation where the volume of business demands the opening of a new facility. This can be attributed to a genuine desire by organisations to really embrace the idea of a sustainable supply chain, both in terms of environmental responsibility and corporate social responsibility. I have every confidence that going forward we can encourage even more businesses to work with Haven Recycle.”

A formal opening of the new facility will take place in the new year.
