Animal by-product regulations and rising disposal costs have led Scottish tannery W J & W Langs to install a Mono Muncher at its plant in Paisley to reduce bulk waste and improve the efficiency of composting as an alternative to landfill. Each month W J & W Langs tannery, based in Paisley, Scotland, produces approximately 500 tonnes of fleshings - a bulky waste product stripped from the hides prior to tanning. More stringent restrictions on disposal, such as increased landfill tax and higher penalties for incorrect disposal, led the tannery management to look for a better way of dealing with the waste, and so they turned to Mono's Scottish distributor, Clyde Associated Engineers, who had previously helped this customer to improve their waste handling on site, Mono says that it has researched the technical problems facing waste handlers to determine how progressing cavity pumps and grinders - designed to handle biodegradable waste - can provide effective solutions to help companies involved in animal waste disposal help meet these new stringent restrictions.
