Congratulations to Field Textiles

Statius has been working with Field Textiles for five years.  Field Textiles operates a disposal service for the Disposal Services Authority who work on behalf of the Ministry of Defence and other government departments such as the police and fire services.

Field Textiles receives up to 15 articulated lorry loads of goods for disposal each week, which previously would have gone to landfil.  The Company sorts and grades the goods received and is responsible for resale of the used product.  Historically, the statistics for the contract were in the region of 65% to landfill and 30% being recycled.  Through innovative approach and hard work, Field Textiles is reporting monthly figures of less than 0.5% of waste to landfill and 0.18% recycling, meaning that the rest of the product is being reused.

This year, Field Textiles was approached to enter the Basildon District Business Awards in the area of environmental awareness.  A tough judging panel visited the Field Textiles warehouse with Matt from Statius providing the support and guidance.  Matt was asked to attend the awards ceremony on behalf of Field Textiles and accepted the award at the gala dinner.
