By decreasing the company’s 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.
