"Greedy George!!"
Our Commitment to Sustainability with the EcoBot EB:50
At The George, sustainability isn't just a goal it's at the heart of everything we do.
That's why we've invested in the EcoBot EB:50, an advanced waste management system that helps us significantly reduce waste, improve recycling efficiency
and lower our environmental impact!
​
Our new fantastic on-site food waste management machine is up & running!!
The Tumblebug EcoBot and what it does, is something we had been looking
into for some time prior to placing our order.
​
Having an Ecobot on site enables us to dry, sanitise and reduce the weight of our organic waste by up to 90%, meaning we can easily manage our food waste, reduce waste collections and costs, calculate our C02e savings and measure our food waste daily.
The output that is created by the machine is used as an additive for our compost......
​That is what excited us the most!!
We can now use this output on our Kitchen Garden and our No Dig allotment
to help with the growth of all our fruit and vegetables, ready to be served up to
our customers here at The George!!




Mission
Why We Invested in the EcoBot EB:50??
We're always looking for smarter, more sustainable ways to manage waste. That's why we chose the EcoBot EB:50, a powerful waste management system designed to reduce landfill waste, cut emissions, and improve operational efficiency. Here's why it was the perfect investment for us:
​
1. Reducing Waste and Landfill Impact
Traditional waste disposal often leads to excessive landfill use, but the EcoBot EB:50 changes that. It sorts, compacts, and processes waste more efficiently, ensuring that recyclable materials are recovered and less waste ends up in landfill. This not only minimizes our environmental footprint but also supports a circular economy.
​
2. Lower Carbon Emissions & Energy Consumption
By reducing the volume of waste that needs to be transported, the EB:50 helps cut down on fuel consumption and CO2‚ emissions. Fewer waste collections mean fewer trucks on the road and a significant reduction in our overall carbon footprint.
​
3. Cost Savings on Waste Disposal
Managing waste disposal can be costly, especially with increasing landfill taxes and collection fees. The EcoBot EB:50 optimizes waste processing, reducing the frequency of collections and lowering disposal costs making it both an environmentally and financially smart choice.
​
4. A Cleaner and More Efficient Workplace
By automating waste sorting and compaction, the EB:50 keeps our facility cleaner, tidier, and more efficient. This not only improves hygiene and safety standards but also boosts productivity by minimizing manual waste handling.
​
5. Meeting Sustainability Goals & Compliance
Many industries are under pressure to meet stricter environmental regulations and corporate social responsibility (CSR) goals. The EB:50 helps us stay ahead by ensuring we operate within sustainable best practices and meet compliance requirements.
​
6. Supporting a Circular Economy
Rather than sending mixed waste to landfill, the EB:50 enables better resource recovery. More materials are properly sorted and sent for recycling, reducing demand for raw materials and supporting a more sustainable production cycle.
​
7. Investing in the Future of Waste Management
Sustainability isn't just a trend, it's the future. Owning the EcoBot EB:50 allows us to take control of our waste management, demonstrating our commitment to responsible business practices and environmental stewardship.
By integrating the EcoBot EB:50 into our operations, we're actively reducing waste, improving efficiency, and reinforcing our commitment to sustainability. It's more than just a machine it's a step toward a greener, cleaner future.
​
​
Our mission in purchasing one of these fabulous machines, is to try and reuse/recycle as much as we possibly can, to do our bit in helping our planet.
​
The guys at Tumblebug went above and beyond to ensure we ordered the correct machine for the amount of waste we currently create,. They gave us up to date information via email on the manufacturing of the machine, all delivery times and then of course the installation and training for use.
​
​It has made another of our Sustainability dreams a reality, being able to produce something reusable from our waste, making our motto -
'From Patch to Plate and Back to Patch',
​
The exact truth!!

Our new waste management machine is designed to efficiently process and manage our in house waste, reducing landfill contributions and improving our recycling rate.
