Tuffnells cuts waste under new partnership with Go Green

National IDW carrier Tuffnells has seen 99% of its waste diverted from landfill compared with 95%, year-on-year, in the first month of its new partnership with Go Green.

The deal, which began in June, sees Go Green provide waste management services for all 35 Tufnell depots across the UK, which includes delivering best-practice guidance on waste separation and landfill reduction to all Tufnell’s depot teams and the provision of new solutions that will deliver cost savings.

Since the start of the partnership in June 2022, Paul Allen, Go Green head of sales, and his team have visited all of Tuffnells’ 33 operational depots to meet with local depot managers and provide updated guidance.

Each location has been provided with waste containers and bespoke signage to ensure waste separation is optimised.

Go Green also operates a bespoke portal system which provides Tuffnells with transparent and accurate reporting on waste statistics.

Since the launch of the partnership in June over 99% of waste is now diverted from landfill across all depots, compared with 95% in the same period last year.
