Committed to a Greener Future
A&A Recycling, as part of the A.W. Jenkinson Group, is dedicated to environmental responsibility and sustainability. Our operations maximise the use of forestry resources, recycle life-expired wood, process green waste into valuable by-products, and provide low-carbon biofuel solutions. Through innovation, efficiency, and adherence to best environmental practices, we play a vital role in the UK’s circular economy.
A Circular Economy Approach
Sustainability is central to everything we do. A&A Recycling is a key player in the circular economy, ensuring that waste wood is collected, processed, and repurposed to its fullest potential. From forestry by-products to post-consumer wood waste, our recycling processes minimise landfill waste and support renewable energy solutions.
We handle significant volumes of waste wood annually through our dedicated sites and contribute to the processing of over 3 million tonnes within the A.W. Jenkinson Group. This material is repurposed into panel board feedstock, biomass fuel, and other sustainable products, reducing dependence on virgin timber.
Sustainable Biofuels and Carbon Reduction
Unlike fossil fuels, the virgin wood we process stores CO₂ throughout its growth cycle and releases no additional carbon into the planet’s carbon cycle when used as biomass fuel. This makes it an essential alternative energy source for large-scale energy providers and smaller industrial heat and power plants, contributing to the UK's renewable energy sector.
Responsibly Managing Resources
A&A Recycling takes environmental and social responsibility seriously, striving towards ecological, social, and economic sustainability. Our environmental initiatives include:
- Minimising waste by optimising recycling processes and ensuring all materials are used efficiently.
- Reducing environmental impact through best-practice pollution prevention and waste reduction strategies.
- Promoting biodiversity by supporting responsible forestry and sustainable land use.
- Investing in clean technology, such as advanced grinding and processing machinery, to improve efficiency while reducing emissions.
A Business Built on Green Innovation
A&A Recycling’s facilities are strategically located to optimise transport efficiency and reduce emissions. Supported by the extensive logistics network of A.W. Jenkinson Transport, our fleet ensures the seamless movement of recyclable materials across the UK.
We also work in partnership with the Wood Recyclers Association, aligning with industry best practices and advocating for improved sustainability standards.
A Sustainable Future, Together
At A&A Recycling sustainability is more than a commitment—it is embedded in the way we do business. We continuously improve our operations to enhance environmental performance and support the UK's transition towards a greener, more resource-efficient economy.
By choosing A.W. Jenkinson Woodwaste, businesses and communities contribute to a truly circular system where waste wood finds new life, emissions are reduced, and valuable natural resources are preserved for future generations.
