Tidy deal links energy firm with Spanish experts

- DOMINIC SMITHERS

AMACCLESFI­ELD energy- to- waste firm has teamed up with a Spanish energy specialist to become the UK’s exclusive distributo­r of their industryle­ading boilers.

Tidy Planet, based at Tytheringt­on Business Park, specialise­s in the organic surplus recycling sector and works with large brands including Liz Earle Co, BP and DHL at London’s Gatwick Airport.

The eco-friendly company has now partnered with Spanish energy generation company SUGIMAT to become the UK’s first distributo­r of the Spanish outfit’s boilers. The boilers create energy under environmen­t a l l y - c o m p l i a nt conditions, burning either convention­al or non-convention­al fuels for maximum heat and minimal ecological impact.

Since the Macclesfie­ld company was establishe­d 17 years ago it has worked with a number of internatio­nal brands, but it was scheme at Gatwick Airport which cemented their relationsh­ip.

James Tyler, Tidy Planet’s director, said: “After launching the DHL-Gatwick project in 2016 – when the airport became future the world’s first to generate energy on-site from airline and airport wastes – we witnessed how well SUGIMAT’s advanced eco boilers aligned with our own core philosophy of utilising refuse as a valuable resource.

“We realised that through combining our organic recycling expertise with their cutting- edge energy generation technologi­es, we would – as the sole UK representa­tive – be able to bring these cost-reducing, energy-conserving products to more organisati­ons across the country.”

Mr Tyler said there is a growing trend among customers for innovative waste-utilising technology. He said: “We’ve seen high sectoral demand for the boilers in the UK – especially in the area of waste wood – and we anticipate this only to increase as enterprise­s continue to seek out sustainabl­e solutions for their waste management needs.”

Alex Mas, SUGIMAT’s business developmen­t director, said the two companies shared the same ideals.

He said: “Both our company values and eco-technologi­es are greatly complement­ed by those of Tidy Planet.

“It’s clear that the product offerings we bring to the table share a common denominato­r, and that is one which identifies and optimises the energy production possibilit­ies from organic refuse.”
