At Wheeldon Brothers, sustainability isn’t just a goal – it’s a commitment. That’s why we’re proud to announce a major milestone: our entire fleet of vehicles and mobile plant has been running on 100% Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) fuel throughout the first quarter of this year.
This means drastically lower emissions, cleaner air, and zero fossil fuel, without sacrificing performance. By choosing Wheeldon Brothers for your commercial waste collection, skip hire, and recycling services, you are not only choosing reliable service, but also supporting a greener, more sustainable future. We’ve made the switch, and the benefits speak for themselves.
HVO is a renewable, fossil-free alternative to traditional diesel fuel. It’s produced from vegetable oils, which undergo a refining process called hydrotreatment. This process removes impurities, converting the oils into a clean, high-performance fuel that offers significant environmental benefits. By switching our fleet to HVO, we ensure that all our waste management operations are more eco-friendly, from site clearance to commercial waste collection.
One of the most notable advantages of HVO fuel is its ability to dramatically reduce harmful emissions. Compared to diesel, it can cut CO₂ emissions by up to 90%, making it a crucial tool in the fight against climate change. This reduction in emissions means we’ve once again lowered our environmental impact, with the goal of a cleaner planet in mind. The positive effect is felt across all the services we offer, including recycling and business waste management, helping us provide cleaner and more sustainable waste disposal solutions.
In addition to cutting CO₂, HVO fuel also improves air quality by reducing nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter -pollutants that contribute to poor air quality and health issues. With our fleet running on HVO, every time we remove trade waste or deliver a roll-on roll-off container, we are actively reducing the environmental impact of our operations.
At Wheeldon Brothers, we are proud to be at the forefront of sustainable waste management. Our transition to HVO fuel for our fleet of vehicles and mobile plant is not just an environmental decision- it’s a natural extension of the eco-friendly services we provide to our customers. By adopting HVO fuel, we’re able to align our commitment to sustainability with the full-service waste management solutions we offer, including commercial waste and skip hire.
Our commitment to HVO isn’t just good news for the planet – it directly improves the sustainability of the services we deliver every day. Whether you’re a homeowner booking a skip or a business relying on regular waste collection, you’re now benefiting from a cleaner, greener service.
Here are just some of the services now powered by our HVO-fuelled fleet:
Every job we do now comes with a lower carbon footprint – and that’s something we’re proud to offer our customers.
When you choose Wheeldon Brothers for your waste collection needs, you’re not just choosing a reliable service, but one that’s committed to eco-friendly waste collection and sustainable skip hire solutions. Switching to HVO fuel directly supports the recycling services we offer, with our HVO-powered fleet, we can continue providing prompt, efficient waste management while drastically cutting CO₂ emissions. This means that every time we collect waste from your business or home, we’re helping to reduce our shared environmental impact.
