waste storage
On the shop floor, hazardous waste segregation is conducted using red colour codes. The segregated waste is then sent to the chemical store for further segregation before scheduling a collection with us. This process relieves pressure from the shop floor.
Improved data analysis
Our waste management portal provides you with data and knowledge to ensure compliance and to help reduce the impact on the wider environment.

“Since working with Axil, Curtiss-Wright Industrial Division has further improved its approach to the disposal of various materials, ensuring the methods adopted are cost effective and efficient. As an ISO 14001 certified company, we put a great deal of emphasis on our efforts towards recycling, and Axil understood this from the start, working together to not only segregate and improve our recycling facilities, but to train staff in the importance of doing so.”

The Requirement
Curtiss-Wright Industrial Division provides highly engineered products and services with a focus on advanced technologies for high-performance platforms and critical applications across a range of industries. Compliance and recycling were on the forefront of the agenda for Curtiss-Wright Industrial Division when they approached Axil as a waste management partner.
The sustainability mission at Curtiss-Wright Industrial Division is clear; they are fully committed to conducting business in an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, and ethical manner while protecting the health and safety of the company’s workers and community and complying with all applicable regulations.
Waste Challenges
Since working with Curtiss-Wright Industrial Division, Axil has introduced new internal and external bins, with clear, colour-coded signage to promote and enhance waste segregation.
After a review found non-compatible waste streams were being mixed, Axil’s HazPod™ was introduced (a UN-approved specialist waste container), along with red bags for solid hazardous waste.
Axil works in partnership with Curtiss-Wright Industrial Division to consistently review innovations and drive costs out. Curtiss-Wright Industrial Division were pro-active and collaborative in their journey to improve waste segregation, and now boast a hazardous waste storage facility with an improved and compliant layout.
“During our 5-year contract with Curtiss-Wright, Axil has provided a total waste management partnership looking after all of their waste streams including hazardous, food, and general waste, along with ferrous/non-ferrous metals. Since working with Axil, Curtiss-Wright Industrial Division has a compliant disposal route for pallets used on site, and food segregation has been introduced allowing this stream to be sent for anaerobic digestion.”
