On 10 February the Southern Branch of the IHE facilitated a presentation by Ian Gillam of Saint-Gobain PAM UK to inform attendees about their ReCover initiative, with an emphasis on cost savings and sustainability. These two subjects are at the top of everyone's agenda at the moment. Ian gave a very interesting and informative presentation in a really accessible manner. Saint Gobain PAM UK are based at Holwell Foundry in Melton Mowbray, where, for over 10 years, they have been reusing the wire found in old tyres and melting it as a raw material to be remade into their access covers and gratings…that's almost two million tyres over the years. It was really interesting to discover that one out of four products sold by the company didn't actually exist five years ago. Some of this is in response to customer demand but some of it was due to Saint-Gobain PAM UK's commitment to sustainability innovation. |
