Stapleton’s Extends Sapphire/Saltire Contract
Stapleton’s Tyre Services has extended its contract with resource recovery company Sapphire and tyre collection and recycling firm Saltire, by two years. The deal will enable Sapphire to continue a regular supply of tyre chips and whole tyres to cement companies across the UK to use as fuel – including its joint owner Lafarge Cement.
Scrap tyres have been providing a sustainable fuel alternative for the cement industry for well over a decade, providing an environmentally-beneficial outlet for the 40 million tyres removed from UK vehicles every year.
Sapphire has operated a recovery service for Stapleton’s via Midland’s-based Saltire Recovery Limited for the past year – the two-year contract extension is testament to the excellent service offered by the Saltire-Sapphire partnership. Peter Allen, Commercial Director of Stapleton’s, commented:
