Among the greatest hidden risks to a Waste Management Facility - Disposable Vapes. Ireland sold an estimated 12.5 million disposable e-cigarettes in 2022. They are accessible, inexpensive, and entertaining, but many people are unaware of the serious fire risk they present, particularly in waste facilities like ours. Disposable vapes may appear minimal and harmless but they actually contain tiny lithium batteries. The possibility of an unexpected fire brought on by these lithium batteries is quite real in our facility, where mechanical processes are always in operation. Vapes should ideally be disposed of in an available battery bin. #Vape #LithiumBattery #RecyclingMatters #Disposable #RecyclingTodayForTomorrowsFuture #FireSafety

Curious about how Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) works? RDF is made from non-recyclable waste, helping divert waste from landfills and providing an alternative to fossil fuels. RDF supply is a game-changing solution and helps shape a more sustainable energy future. 🔋♻️ #CircularEconomy #RenewableEnergy #WasteManagement"

Glanway will once again be attending the prestigious Plastics Recycling Show Europe 2025 held in the RAI Amsterdam on April 1st and 2nd. Be sure to book in a meeting with our Business Development and Commercial Executive Ben Murray to discuss plastic recycling from residual waste streams or to find out more about what Glanway do.

Innovative Waste Solutions for a Sustainable Future At Glanway, we're focused on transforming waste! With cutting-edge technology and forward-thinking strategies, we're making waste management smarter, more efficient, and better for the environment. Our approach: Waste to energy: Turning waste into valuable resources. Processing residual MSW: Reducing landfill and incineration use with advanced recycling techniques for black bin recyclables. By embracing innovation, we’re helping Ireland become a leader in waste reduction and sustainability. #WasteInnovation #SustainableSolutions #SmartWaste #GreenIreland #WasteToEnergy

A first for Glanway today, as we enter our 11th year in business today we welcomed our first ever T-Cab Scania from McDon Transport. It was a tight squeeze onto our weighbridge and the lorry just about fit.

At Glanway we view residual waste as a challenging but a potentially valuable resource. If processed innovatively targeting specific recyclables for removal and creating specific fuels for the Waste-to Energy industry with the remainder, we can help bring us all on a path to a more sustainable future. In 2024 we extracted over 6,000 tonnes of recyclable material that would otherwise be destined for landfill or incineration. #future #sustainable #circulareconomy #wastemanagement

In 2024, Glanway diverted roughly 80,000 tonnes of waste from landfill. By doing this we reduced CO2 emissions by 46,039 tonnes (the equivalent of taking 10,000 gasoline cars off the road for a year). #WasteManagement #CircularEconomy #Recycling #WasteToEnergy

Black Bin Waste Composition 🗑️ A significant portion of what ends up in the black bin is actually recyclable or compostable material. Studies from the EPA have shown that up to 40% of black bin waste could have been recycled, composted, or repurposed. Items like paper, cardboard, food waste, glass, and plastic are often wrongly placed in the black bin when they should be sorted into recycling or organic bins. At Glanway we target these recyclable materials that would be otherwise lost to landfill or incineration.

In 2024, Glanway exported over 50,000 tonnes of RDF to be recovered in the most efficient Waste-to-Energy facilities in Scandinavia. Waste isn't just waste— it's a valuable resource! 🔄💡 Waste-to-energy (WtE) facilities are transforming non-recyclable waste into power, contributing to sustainable energy solutions and reducing landfill waste. These facilities harness advanced technologies to convert municipal waste into electricity and heat, helping reduce carbon footprints and bolster energy security.

The Glanway team would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! Our office will be closed today and we will return on the 2nd. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any enquiries. Thank you for your support and custom throughout 2024 and we look forward to working with you all again in 2025.
