Greenbank Recycling Solutions

07/10/2025

This October, our team at Greenbank is taking on a challenge for a great cause: 10,000 steps per person, per day in support of the Great North Air Ambulance Service. 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️

Each year, we select a charity to support, and this has become an important tradition for our team. This year’s choice is especially meaningful to many of our staff, making the challenge even more personal.

The Great North Air Ambulance provides life-saving care across the region, often in the most difficult and urgent situations. We’re proud to support their incredible work and raise funds to help them continue delivering critical services.

It’s not just about keeping active, it’s about coming together as a team to make a difference. 💚

Sustainability: A goal or a strategy?

Our Managing Director, Gerry Carruth, shares how the business is helping companies transform their waste processes to drive real environmental and commercial value.

“We don’t just provide machines, we deliver sustainability strategies. Our solutions help businesses reduce landfill waste, cut costs, boost revenue from recyclables, and hit environmental targets through efficient baling, compacting and waste stream optimisation. It’s all about smarter waste handling that delivers ESG results.” ♻️

One of the most exciting trends? The rise of the circular economy.

“Businesses are moving beyond compliance. They’re recognising that waste efficiency directly impacts brand value and the bottom line. Technology is now enabling data-led waste reduction strategies that make a real difference.” ⚙️

This forward-thinking approach is underpinned by a strong, proactive team culture.

“What I value most is how our team partners with clients. We don’t just sell equipment and walk away - we carry out on-site audits, tailor machinery setups, and offer long-term service plans. Our people are resilient and committed, always giving their best no matter the circumstances.” 💪

When the sun is shining, what better way to cool down than with a surprise visit from the ice cream van? 🍦🎉

Our team took a well-deserved break during the heatwave to enjoy some delicious frozen treats and soak up the sunshine. From classic cones to colourful lollies, there was something for everyone 😄

It’s the little things that make workdays even sweeter💚
