Stuart Partners seeks solution to convert costly waste stream into resource

Stuart Partners faced a financial and environmental challenge regarding the disposal of skip fines, which contain recoverable materials like sand, aggregates, and metals. The company spent between £300,000 and £350,000 each year on haulage costs for landfill disposal. To address this, Stuart Partners began discussions with Parnaby Cyclones in July 2025, and Parnaby demonstrated its Natural Medium Barrel Plant, designed to treat complex waste streams.

The need for a new solution is driven by increasing pressure to improve recovery rates and reduce dependency on landfill, especially given uncertainty around future landfill taxation. Successfully processing this waste stream could convert a costly disposal burden into a valuable resource for Stuart Partners.
