Macclesfield firm signs exclusive UK distribution deal with Spanish WtE boiler manufacturer

Macclesfield based green energy specialists, Tidy Planet, have agreed an exclusive UK distribution deal with Sugimat, a Spanish manufacturer of Waste-to-energy (WtE) boilers.

The partnership between to the two firms will run for five years, allowing Tidy Planet to be the firm’s sole distributor of the company’s latest technology to the UK waste and recycling market – the Sugimat Horizon+ rotary WtE boiler is the first of its kind, specially engineered to process high ash content waste.

Commenting on the extension of the long-term partnership, Tidy Planet’s managing director, Simon Webb said:

We first started working with Sugimat in 2016, when the organisation provided a solid fuel boiler for the WtE plant we designed for Gatwick Airport. This system enables the client to process 3,000 tonnes of contaminated food and non-recyclable waste on site, which was previously sent to landfill.

“Our exclusive partnership with Sugimat means that we can continue to bring cutting-edge WtE technology to our waste and recycling industry – the new rotary boiler is the first of its kind, and we’re excited to be driving this forward here in the UK.”

Alex Mas, Sugimat’s business development director, added:

We have over 40 years’ experience manufacturing industrial boilers, and working with Tidy Planet allows us to share this expertise with UK businesses.

“As the UK is struggling to export its end-of-life waste overseas, an increasing number of organisations are turning their attention to the value of RDF and SRF. We believe it is important for companies to harness the potential of this waste stream and close the loop, instead of shipping this valuable energy source elsewhere.

“We share this ethos with Tidy Planet and that’s why our partnership works so well.”
