The solar installation project at Roberts Recycling HQ is now complete and fully operational.
The new system creates an on-site renewable energy source that supports the day-to-day running of our textile recycling operations, while also helping to power our electric vans and forklifts.
This marks another important step in strengthening the infrastructure behind our reuse-first, lower-carbon operating model.
With the system now live, we are able to:
- Generate clean electricity directly on site
- Monitor real-time energy generation, usage and self-consumption
- Build a clearer picture of how solar contributes to reducing operational carbon impact
As we move into sunnier months, the data and insight from this installation will play an increasingly valuable role in how we manage energy across the site and plan future efficiencies.
We would like to thank the Low Carbon Eco-Innovatory team at Liverpool John Moores University, and Dr David G. Evans, for their guidance and support throughout the tendering and delivery of this project.
This installation sits alongside wider investments across the business, including electric vehicles and ongoing operational improvements, all focused on building a more resilient and sustainable textile recovery operation.
