Our exclusive partnership with TANA strengthens our product and service offering, giving you access to market-leading waste processing equipment backed by CRJ\u2019s full lifecycle support<\/a>.<\/h4>\n

CRJ is pleased to be announced as the exclusive dealer for the full range of TANA recycling machinery for the UK and Ireland. Further expanding their ability to deliver tailored shredding solutions across a wide range of waste and recycling applications.<\/p>\n

TANA is internationally recognised for designing and manufacturing robust, intelligent machinery and digital solutions such as TanaConnect(R)<\/sup> for waste management operations. Its product range includes shredders, landfill compactors and screening solutions, developed to maximise efficiency, improve material recovery and optimise waste processing across a wide variety of applications.<\/p>\n

“We are pleased to partner with CRJ who have built a strong reputation in the waste and recycling sector through their technical expertise and extensive service capabilities. We look forward to working together to bringing Tana\u2019s intelligent waste processing solutions to more operators across the region,” Jari Mannala, CEO, Tana Oy, says.<\/p>\n

A key addition to CRJ\u2019s offering is the TANA Shark and TANA Hammerhead, both single-shaft shredders, designed to produce a finer output size, making them particularly well suited to applications where material specification requirements are critical.<\/p>\n

This new addition complements CRJ Services\u2019 established range of HAAS Tyron twinshaft slow speed shredders, enabling the business to support a broader variety of waste streams and processing objectives.<\/p>\n

The TANA range of single-shaft shredders is ideally suited to waste streams that require finer size reduction and greater control over output, including refuse-derived fuel (RDF), solid recovered fuel (SRF), municipal solid waste (MSW), tyres, wood waste, pallets, production waste, plastics, textiles, and pre-processed mixed waste.<\/p>\n

This makes the TANA Shark and TANA Hammerhead particularly effective as secondary shredders, or in applications where consistent particle size is essential for fuel production, sorting, or further separation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn many waste processing applications, achieving the right particle size is critical,\u201d adds Rob Symons, CRJ Director. \u201cThe TANA Shark and TANA Hammerhead are designed to give operators greater control over output while maintaining the durability and reliability required for demanding waste streams.\u201d<\/p>\n

By offering both single-shaft and twin-shaft slow speed shredders, CRJ can now design complete shredding solutions that match the input material and the end goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis dealership strengthens our slow speed shredder offering,\u201d says Andrew Clarkson, CRJ Managing Director. \u201cHAAS and TANA work alongside each other, allowing us to support a much wider range of specified waste output and offer more complete, future-ready processing solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to shredders, Tana also manufactures a range of landfill compactors and a disc screen, further strengthening CRJ\u2019s ability to support customers with integrated waste processing solutions. These technologies allow for efficient material handling, screening, and volume reduction, helping customers optimise their processing lines and maximise throughput across multiple waste streams.<\/p>\n

The addition of TANA to the CRJ portfolio reinforces the company\u2019s position as a solution-led partner to the waste and recycling industry, providing expert guidance, proven machinery, and comprehensive aftersales support across an expanding range of applications.<\/p>\n

Valpak | UCL wins \u2018Beyond the Bin\u2019 funding bid with proposal for first behavioural systems map focused on cup recycling<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/h4>\n

The National Cup Recycling Scheme has announced the winner of its \u2018Beyond the Bin\u2019 project fund competition.<\/h4>\n

The Centre for Behaviour Change, based at University College London (UCL), will receive over \u00a344,000 to fund research into the barriers to recycling paper cups in mainstream systems and produce the first behavioural systems map focused specifically on cup recycling.<\/p>\n

Hannah Osman, Manager of the National Cup Recycling Scheme, congratulated Dr Lucy Porter and Dr Ay\u015fe Lisa Allison at UCL, saying: \u201cThe range and scope of applications show the appetite for developing new systems and approaches to cup recycling.”<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a particularly close call between the top four finalists, but UCL\u2019s bid is a worthy winner. The findings can directly inform future infrastructure design, communication strategies, and the goals of the project \u2013 to use systems mapping to identify the key behaviours, barriers and enablers in paper cup recycling, to guide future interventions and policy \u2013 closely align with our ambitions to prevent cups from ending up in landfill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matt Spencer, Commercial Director and Group Head of Sustainability for Caffe Nero, said:\u00a0\u201cTackling the barriers to cup recycling is something we are very proud to support. For many years we have segregated cups for recycling in store, helped fund the Valpak scheme and incentivised our customers to use reusable cups. We know to further improving recycling rates isn\u2019t just about infrastructure, it\u2019s about understanding behaviour across the whole system. We hope that UCL\u2019s work will provide valuable insight to help retailers, policymakers and waste partners design solutions that make recycling easier, clearer and more effective for customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

UCL\u2019s project will run for eight months. Key elements include:<\/p>\n
