Waste Challenges
Birds Eye has a range of waste streams, including cardboard packaging, plastic, and food waste. They were looking to appoint a Total Waste Management partner to help create more sustainable solutions, offer class-leading account management, and work towards cost reductions through efficient waste management processes.
Managing a host of waste streams, Axil regularly reviews the market, to give Birds Eye the best value on materials.
Our on-site Waste Operative manages day-to-day waste requirements for Birds Eye, helping them to reduce the cost impact of rising waste outputs and improving efficiency across the estate.
Embedding an Axil Operative on-site ensures new initiatives are uncovered on a regular basis, and suggestions can be implemented with speed.
“Axil is a one-stop-shop for waste management. Their innovative approach drives out
costs and we have managed to forge a good working partnership that means we both win.”
