What McKinstry Waste Management and Recycling did
A resource efficient Northern Ireland is at the centre of McKinstry Waste Management and Recycling business model. The company has worked hard to become a leader within the waste management industry by making multi-million pound investments in its Material Recovery Facility (MRF) and fleet of vehicles, implementing an Integrated Management System (consisting of ISO9001, ISO14001 and OHSAS18001) as well as building a strong committed workforce.
The company aims to reuse and recycle all material locally when possible. The most recent example of this was hard-core waste produced from a demolition project at Ulster University recycled into aggregate that could be used as backfill. The McKinstry team liaised with the Shankill Road Regeneration Project and was able to divert 100% of the hard-core waste produced during the original demolition from landfill and created a new commercial product placing it on the market, eliminating the need to use virgin material and completed the CRADLE to CRADLE process.
