Cummins is the worldâs largest independent maker of diesel engines and other related products. The company have expanded their sustainability credentials by creating The Cummins Environmental Gateway. The Gateway was launched in September last year and is the first of its kind for Cummins. The Environmental Gateway works to encourage a variety of different sized supply chain companies to come forward with sustainable innovations that are ready for the market.

In order to achieve a place on the Cummins Environmental Gateway Successful Innovators List, Augean presented several different options that would allow the company to reduce wood waste. By decreasing the companyâs wood waste, there would be a reduction in the number of traffic movements and therefore a reduction in carbon emissions, lower road noise and better air quality for the local communities. The solution offered by Augean also offered other benefits including recycling and the generation of renewable energy that would be consistent with the principles of a circular economy.
