Landia UK, who make equipment for the agricultural, wastewater and biogas industries, has invested in 120 solar panels and a new high efficiency boiler, which will reduce the company’s energy bill by more than £3000pa.

As Landia’s UK & Eire Director, Hugh Vaughan explains, everyone is working together to make the purpose-built stores, workshops and office environment as green as possible.

“We’ve stepped up our recycling and also improved our surroundings with 800m² of wild flowers and a large number of bird boxes and feeders. It really makes a difference. Where possible, other local companies should do the same. It’s good to provide a pleasant working environment that also enhances the area. An industrial estate doesn’t have to be all grey and bland”.

Landia UK now annually recycles 5 tonnes of cardboard, saving over £500pa – and also recycles its oil, as well as harvesting its rainwater.
