P..P..P..Pick Up A Pearsons
UK Recycling company prove, “There’s snow business like waste business”
Waste recyclers Pearsons are making friends with the penguins after landing a contract to handle waste generated by scientists in Antarctica.
The Thetford based company are delighted that BAS (British Antarctic Survey) chose them ahead of strong competition from other waste recycling companies in the UK.
Managing Director Jo Pearson ARCTIC-ulated his delight and slight bewilderment over the news by stating,
“We pride ourselves on being able to handle just about anything, but recycling waste from Antarctica is unusual, even for us!”
Rod Dowdie, Environmental Manager at BAS commented on the contract by declaring,
“We were impressed with Pearsons because they really engaged with us and seemed genuinely interested in what we are doing. We have a legal requirement to recycle and we are committed to it.”
Up until recently only a small percentage of the waste generated had been shipped over to the UK and much more was being dumped into landfill sites on the Falkland Islands. This meant much less recycling, making the latest situation great news for the environment.
Pearsons are one of Norfolk’s largest waste recyclers, employing 90 people and with annual sales of more than £8m. They have also recently acquired a number of smaller businesses and now provide skip and recycling services throughout the Eastern Counties… and Antarctica.
British Antarctic Survey is a world leader in research into global issues in an Antarctic context, including the study of climate change both today and in days gone by. It is the UK’s national Antarctic operator and is a component of the Natural Environment Research Council. Currently it runs nine research programmes and operates five research stations, two research ships and five aircraft in and around Antarctica.
