The three-year contract will see EIS provide waste management and recycling services across Port of Aberdeen’s estate, from visiting vessels to office facilities.
The port has said it plans to become the “UK’s first net zero port by 2040”, with the new contract supporting the reduction of its scope 3 emissions.
Port of Aberdeen’s waste will be sent to EIS’ purpose-built transfer station facility at Checkbar on the outskirts of Aberdeen. This system of recycling and energy production is said to allow a “100% diversion from landfill” solution.
Neil Sharp, managing director at EIS Waste Services, said: “This partnership with Port of Aberdeen marks a significant milestone for us, emphasising our commitment to a sustainable future. Through the delivery of our comprehensive waste management and recycling services, we aim to support Port of Aberdeen in its journey towards net zero.
“Under a thorough competitive tender process, we’re delighted that a local firm like ourselves has won this contract with such a prestigious local business.
“We believe our commitment to environmental responsibility and cutting-edge technologies aligns with Port of Aberdeen’s vision, and in collaboration, we are working towards a cleaner, more sustainable future.”
Belle Sierina, environmental manager at Port of Aberdeen, said: “Effective waste management and recycling is an important strand of our net zero strategy. We look forward to working with EIS Waste Services and identifying opportunities to enhance our environmental and sustainability activities.”
EIS’ headquarters, located at Checkbar, on the outskirts of Aberdeen near Cove, is fully powered by renewable energy.
EIS recently invested £2.5 million in state-of-the-art vehicles to ensure full compliance with the new Low Emission Zone (LEZ) requirements for Aberdeen city centre.
