  1. Proposed REC (Resource Efficiency Club), Chemicals, West Yorkshire Janet Murfin

  2. What is it? • BREW funding from landfill tax for RECs – no size restrictions, unlike GBSO • Upgrade of GBSO Chemicals Club run 04/05 for West Yorkshire “extreme SMEs” • GBSO club saved money for members in first year, real benefit is year-on-year • TT Environmental, with SORIS, have requested feasibility grant for BREW funds

  3. Examples from GBSO club: • Sourced waste supplier for off-site treatment/ landspreading, avoiding treatment and landfill costs • Helped with waste reclassification, segregation and recycling suppliers • Set up partnership for re-use of 25L plastic bottles • Brought in engineer to design plant and instrumentation system for chiller to replace water cooling (including full costing) but not implemented • Sourced recycling supplier for fibreboard kegs, instead of going to landfill (not implemented yet) • Helped get information for company to move to bulk handling a major raw material, saving packaging, transport costs (being implemented)

  4. How will it work? • Model for “extreme” SMEs was mainly on-site consultancy – too busy to leave site • We do the paperwork for you • You know what your problem areas are – we help provide tools – ideas, suppliers, technical experts, other grant funders • Would like to extend model to bring in occasional meetings, as exchange of ideas between companies is important • Envirowise think around 10 members, we think wider pool of associate members too

  5. Why should we join? • Save money, help your business keep competitive • Regulators like idea (also EPOPRA benefits?) • Help others by passing on your knowledge, and pick up relevant information, gain partners • There’s a large pot of YOUR money – £20 - £30k if club goes ahead • Recent experience from GBSO – lots of contacts, suppliers, partners this new club will be more efficient, so more time on helping members
