Recently the UK’s first All Weather Terminal was awarded a 100 tonnes Achievement Award for recycling wood with the Humber Wood Recycling Project, the company said in its press release.
The self-funded recycling firm, that creates training, volunteering and workplace opportunities, has also created wooden planters and outdoor furniture from some of the recycled materials which will brighten up the port’s wellbeing areas.
The All Weather Terminal protects weather sensitive products and it predominately handles steel coil which is used in the production of car parts and other metal products. The waste timber off the vessels is used to secure the load and once offloaded by ABP it is collected, sorted and graded by volunteers at the Humber Wood Recycling Project’s depot in Staveley Road, Hull.
