rabbit skips - sussex waste Management enviropower - converting waste to energy

The name of the Rabbit Group and Sussex Waste Recycling are well known locally for the provision of recycled means of disposal of construction and demolition waste. Since 1996 the company has led the way in achieving environmentally-friendly means of collection, sorting, separation and grading of the waste prior to consignment for recycling or re-use.

The Rabbit Group and Duncan Reeds Ltd have worked in collaboration in sustainable waste disposal for a number of years. The two companies share a strong commitment to the green disposal of waste and both work pro-actively to support recycling practices that are in line with EU directives and the UK's commitment to the Kyoto Treaty. The Rabbit Group is pioneering a new way of converting waste to energy called Enviropower - a thermal treatment plant that converts C&D waste to fuel which is then used to power turbines that will offset 4MW of electicity on the National Grid.
