Coca-Cola Enterprises - Case study: Zero waste to landfill

Coca-Cola Enterprises continues to increase the amount of waste it recycles from its manufacturing sites in Great Britain as part of its aim to send zero waste to landfill. The company's factory in East Kilbride opened a new and more efficient production line in 2009.

As part of this £3m investment, CCE has put in place measures to completely eliminate waste being sent to landfill from the factory by the end of 2011. These measures include investing in the recycling facility on the site as well as working in partnership with a waste contractor. And 98% of waste is now being recycled.

CCE's Milton Keynes manufacturing site is close to achieving the ambition to be sending zero waste to landfill – having sent less than two tonnes to landfill in the past year. Much of this has been achieved by extensive waste segregation, staff education and training as well as investment in recycling equipment.
