Here at Scott Bros. we invested £750,000 into a brand new biomass boiler which we will be using to heat up our entire business park.
The business park itself is a massive 10 acres and includes both workshops and paint shops we use to maintain our vehicles. Our most recent investment is part of our ongoing commitment to supporting the use of green energy and utilising resources that form part of the circular economy where materials are recovered and regenerated at the end of each stage of their service life.
The boiler itself uses Grade A virgin wood to produce the heat we need to heat our site, which we source from our existing recycling activities. Oftentimes, we use unwanted and untreated wood, which is then sent to our sister site at Norton Bottoms to be broken down into pellet sized pieces ready to be used. Over the Christmas period we offer a service to the public where they can drop off their used Christmas tree’s, which are recycled into chips used to power the boiler, keeping our power needs environmentally friendly.
