FMJ Facilities Management magazine providing industry-specific intelligence to FM and property professionals
Total waste management firm, Axil, has partnered with TRT Lighting Ltd, part of the FW Thorpe Group, to drive environmental performance across its operations.
Through this collaboration, Axil will provide tailored waste management solutions that unlock the potential of recycling, recovery, and reuse within TRT, helping the company to meet ambitious sustainability targets and deliver on its commitment to a greener future.
TRT Lighting, known for its extensive expertise in high-performance lighting, is focused on reducing environmental impact across all facets of its operations, with a vision of achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 – 10 years ahead of the UK’s national target.
Currently, 90 per cent of TRT Lighting’s waste is recycled, a significant achievement in the company’s ongoing sustainability efforts. Through its partnership with Axil, TRT aims to not only maintain this high recycling rate but also identify new opportunities for waste reduction, recovery, and reuse, to further advance its commitment to environmental responsibility.
Jamie Georgiou, Contract Manager at Axil commented: “Adding TRT Lighting to our portfolio alongside Thorlux Lighting is a great opportunity. We’re excited to work alongside TRT’s teams, enhancing their environmental performance by unlocking the full value of waste management.”
FMJ has partnered with Watco to deliver a webinar on Thursday 30th January where we will be grilling a panel of experts on how facilities managers can maintain a safe workplace while balancing shrinking budgets.
The webinar follows the Lifting the Lid report series that the industrial paint and repair products specialist has been developing over the past few years based on research conducted with FMs across the UK. The research explored core responsibilities of the FM role, including how they have evolved in the past decade, and the associated challenges to manage.
Watco’s Sales Director and key contributor to the reports, Chris Budd, will be joined by a panel of experts including Phil Pinnington, Head of Audit & Consultancy at the British Safety Council, Nick Bray, Head of HSEQ, ISS UK and Ireland and Jenni Gallop, Director of Estates and Facilities at Provide Community.
With decades of combined experience in the introduction and management of health and safety in complex, demanding environments, the panel will provide the audience with recommendations broken down into steps that can be introduced immediately.
The panel will discuss the research data from FMs across the UK, the evidence they have seen of those experiences across industries and their first-hand recommendations on how to manage those challenges and ease the pressure.
