RiverRidge Recycling commits to FTA scheme

RiverRidge Recycling has been confirmed at the first company from Northern Ireland to join the Freight Transport Association (FTA) Logistics Carbon Reduction Scheme (LCRS).

The independent waste management company coordinates a fleet of 60 vehicles to collect and transfer Northern Ireland’s waste with sites across Londonderry, Belfast, Coleraine and Portadown.

The LCRS is a voluntary initiative, which records, reports and reduces carbon emissions from road transport, demonstrating industry efforts to cut carbon emissions and contribute to national carbon reduction targets.

Stephen Thompson, transport manager at RiverRidge Recycling, said: “As a recycling and waste management company, we believe in conducting business in a manner which achieves sustainable growth whilst demonstrating a commitment to protecting the environment and carbon reduction is one such commitment.

“Our fleet covers most of Northern Ireland and we acknowledge the carbon emissions created by our road vehicles, this is why we have joined LCRS. This initiative will help us to achieve carbon reduction in the most innovative and efficient way possible.”
