Brindleyplace levels up green goals with new partnership

Brindleyplace is improving its sustainability efforts through a new partnership with Greenzone Facilities Management, a waste management and recycling firm.

Several initiatives are already in place across the estate, including solar panel installations, smart meters, air quality monitoring, and advanced software for energy consumption analysis.

The collaboration will elevate existing sustainability measures with low-carbon waste solutions designed to create a safer, cleaner, and more sustainable future.

Greenzone Facilities Management will implement a plan that includes real-time management information, data collection, training, engagement, and innovation to further reduce Brindleyplace’s carbon footprint and help achieve its sustainability targets.

Matt Long, senior asset manager for Praxis at Brindleyplace, said: “Brindleyplace is the largest mixed-use instruction in the Praxis portfolio, but we’re working in close partnership with Greenzone throughout all Praxis assets to maximise the effectiveness of our existing recycling strategy as well as finding new ways to recycle even more material beyond our current 90%+ approach.

“Our continued commitment to refurbishing, repurposing and repositioning this iconic estate focuses on maximising the use of everything that’s here and making it work even harder towards our goal of a Net Zero future.”

Kristy Pink, head of account management at Greenzone said: “When Greenzone mobilised the Brindleyplace estate, a new Weightron system had just been implemented to measure the weight of waste generated by each tenant and the type of waste stream. The bins are loaded onto a weighbridge and allocated to the correct tenant under the correct waste stream.

“The data allows us to collaborate with Brindleyplace tenants to promote waste segregation and enhance recycling efforts by providing education, training, and conducting site audits. This is already proving an immensely successful activation with significant improvements being noted in the disposal of waste by tenants across the Estate.”
