Our Sister goes from strength to strength...

In the last year Waste Management Research Limited (WMRL), an Environmental Body has gone from strength-to-strength with over 50 ENTRUST approved and landfill operator funded projects under its belt.  WMRL is a sister company to Robert Long Consultancy.  Its purpose is to receive and manage funds from landfill operators under the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme.

Michael Jones has taken over as Chief Executive from Bob Long (who retains the position of Chairman) and is hoping that WMRL will continue to grow.  Notable highlights of this year include:-

• Cleansing Service Group reaching £½ Million Landfill Tax credits being used or promised within the Walsall area since the scheme began;

• being asked to run the new Hampshire Steering Committee for Viridor Waste Management; and

• reaching the 50 approved and funded projects milestone, many of which relate to education, research and recycling.

The photographs illustrate one of the research projects currently under way.  This is funded by Viridor and involves studying the impact of landfill on the aquatic environment near the Beddingham Landfill in Sussex.
