Hydro Aluminium has a strong sustainability ethos and as part of a new project within their Environmental, Social and Governance plans, employees and suppliers joined the Marine Conservation Society to collect and record 37kg of rubbish from two UK beaches.
Hydro UK Sustainability Manager, Richard Eaton identified a way that the company could help to support the local area and ocean research by teaming up with the Marine Conservation Society. Their team works towards helping to create a cleaner and healthier ocean and they also have projects to clean inland areas.
The set up of the day was great, the team were given a 100m stretch of beach to clean and everything found was categorised and recorded. Lizzie Price, Beachwatch Programme Manager says, “The team picked up and recorded an incredible 1009 litter items” and this information will then be collated into an annual report. There was then an opportunity to learn more about how long rubbish takes to degrade in the natural environment and team building exercises, followed by a general litter clean.
Florian Schnetzer, Sustainability Manager Extrusion Europe was part of the team at the beach clean and says “Norsk Hydro is committed to eliminating landfilling of recoverable waste by 2040. In Hydro Extrusion Europe we aim to achieve zero waste to landfill for our operations by 2030 or earlier. I personally learnt a lot during this day. It is based on a scientific approach, creates awareness about the issue of waste pollution of marine coastal environments and was fun to attend.”
