ReCon Waste Management has strengthened its commitment to Northern Ireland's circular economy through a new partnership with 3T Power, ensuring that its operations are now powered entirely by renewable energy generated locally.

The collaboration highlights partnerships can advance sustainability, stimulate economic growth and improve community engagement.

ReCon Waste Management's Managing Director Daniel Connolly said: "Partnering with 3T Power was a natural step for Recon Waste Management as we continue to drive forward our sustainability agenda. Sourcing 100% renewable electricity from a local provider aligns perfectly with our commitment to reducing environmental impact and supporting the Northern Ireland green economy. It allows us to further decarbonise our operations while investing in energy solutions that benefit both our business and the communities we serve."

Both ReCon Waste Management and 3T Power share a vision of transforming how Northern Ireland uses and values its natural resources. Their collaboration reflects the core principles of the circular economy, keeping resources in use for longer, minimising waste and emissions, and delivering both environmental and economic value to local communities.

For 3T Power, this mission is realised through partnerships with local businesses across multiple sectors, from hospitality and education to manufacturing and community facilities. The company provides 100% renewable electricity generated within Northern Ireland from wind, solar, and waste-to-energy sources.

ReCon Waste Management, is focused on turning ‘waste’ materials including street sweepings, construction soil, and industrial waste into valuable resources, bypassing landfill and putting these valuable resources back into the construction trade. By developing safe, approved recycling systems and recovered products including top soil, pre-mixed concrete, and concrete products, amongst others, ReCon ensures that what was once ‘waste’ can be reused in construction, landscaping, and regeneration projects. ReCon collaborates with councils and private sector clients, diverting waste materials and repurposing and redefining them whilst also producing a range of innovative products which bring real innovation and value to the market.

With a shared commitment to preserving our natural landscapes – ReCon by reducing reliance on quarried resources and limiting the amount of waste resource going to landfill, and 3T Power by harnessing the power of naturally occurring wind and other sources of energy to deliver directly to business clients across the province – we are working together to show how collaboration on a local level can benefit our local landscape as well as our local economies.

Looking forward, 3T Power and ReCon are focused on growth through innovation and continued partnership. We are continuing to invest in growing our generation capacity across Northern Ireland whilst advocating for stronger collaboration between energy users, local authorities, and renewable generators to speed up the transition to clean power.

ReCon, on the other hand, continues to and develop new systems to recover a continuously diversifying range of materials from waste streams. The company’s ambition is to turn waste into resource, developing products that are sustainable and circular by design.
