Roberts Recycling Ltd investing in sustainable mobility with new electric vehicles
Roberts Recycling Ltd is taking significant steps towards enhancing its sustainability efforts by acquiring brand-new electric vehicles as part of its commitment to making a positive impact on the environment.
This strategic investment aligns with the family-run textile recycling company’s core mission of reducing textile waste and promoting ethical recycling practices by diverting textiles from landfill and extending their lifespan through responsible recycling methods.
With the addition of the latest electric van to its fleet, the company is reducing its carbon footprint and contributing to a greener future.
“We were absolutely thrilled to be able to introduce the latest electric van to our growing fleet of electric vehicles”, said John Roberts, one of the directors of Roberts Recycling Ltd. “Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond just recycling textiles; it extends to every aspect of our business. This electric van is a testament to our dedication to eco-friendly practices and reducing emissions in our daily operations.”
The new electric van, which has a range of 100-120 miles and a payload of 800kgs, will be used for local journeys. It will play a pivotal role in the company’s logistics, allowing for efficient collection, sorting, and distribution of fashion waste across the UK. By transitioning to electric mobility, Roberts Recycling Ltd aims to reduce its environmental impact while maintaining the quality and reliability of its services.
Roberts Recycling Ltd operates a nationwide clothing collection network, collaborating closely with fashion brands, schools, supermarkets, charities, and council recycling sites. This network diverts significant quantities of clothing from incineration and landfill, giving these items a second life.
