\"\"RiverRidge has been praised at the annual Sustainable Ireland Awards for its commitment to waste management and environmental excellence for a third year in succession.\u00a0The award, sponsored by Ulster Shedders, recognises excellence within the resource and waste management industry, through best practice and innovation across a range of commercial and public sectors. Pictured are (from left to right) compere of the evening Adrian Logan, CEO of RiverRidge, Brett Ross and Managing Director of Ulster Shredders, Elliot Martin.<\/h6>\n

Brett Ross, CEO of RiverRidge comments; \u201cIt\u2019s an amazing achievement to win the highly coveted waste management and environmental excellence award for a third year in a row. This resonates back to our core business model and is an outstanding testament to our company wide pledge to creating clean and reusable alternatives for all disregarded waste.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

RiverRidge operates Northern Ireland\u2019s most progressive and innovative waste management company. Initially acquired in 2011, the company has undergone substantial investment over the past number of years which has transformed it from a small skip hire and landfill business to the fully integrated waste recovery operation it is today.<\/p>\n

In the words of the awards\u2019 judges, \u201cThis is a company that continues to achieve a high standard in its operations and service to its customers.\u00a0 It provides a comprehensive waste management service in Northern Ireland and, as a leader in waste management innovation, it has helped Northern Ireland increase both waste diversion from landfill and the economic value of the waste materials it manages.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Now servicing a number of Northern Ireland\u2019s local authorities and over 4,000 commercial and industrial businesses the company has constantly set the bar in the sector having developed Northern Ireland\u2019s first large scale waste to energy facility and the UK\u2019s first fluidised bed RDF drier.<\/p>\n

Brett continues; \u201cThrough the use of the most advanced technology, RiverRidge has successfully diverted a substantial amount of waste from landfill, giving it a new lease of life, whether in a recycled form or as a waste derived fuel and this award win reflects the success of that process to date.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Renowned for its dedication to innovation, RiverRidge is now generally regarded as the market leader across many aspects of the sector. The addition of the Sustainable Ireland \u2018Waste Management and Environmental Excellence Award\u2019 for a third time is the latest accreditation to the company\u2019s multitude of award wins over the last number of years.<\/p>\n

Brett adds; \u201cIt is our mission to create a cleaner, sustainable future Northern Ireland. Attaining the award title of \u2018Waste Management and Environmental Excellence\u2019 reaffirms our ability to handle waste legally, responsibly and transparently to all of our customers for the benefit of our wider community and future generations.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Sustainable Ireland award ceremony also hosted a charity raffle and auction in aid of RiverRidge\u2019s nominated charity of the year, Northern Ireland Children\u2019s Hospice and as a result raised a total of \u00a36,970 for the charity.<\/p>\n

Brett Ross added, \u201cThank you to the team at Sustainable Ireland, without their support the charity raffle would not have been possible. I would also like to extend my gratitude to everyone who made a contribution to the evening; the support, advice and specialist care offered by NI Children\u2019s Hospice is incredible, so thank you to each of you for helping to benefit this wonderful charity and its outstanding work.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
