Volvo Trucks has now sold more than 4,300 electric trucks in more than 38 countries. Roger Alm, President of Volvo Trucks, says: “We are determined to lead the electric truck transformation and our market leading position in 2022, not only in Europe, but also in North America, is proof that we are doing just that.
“Although, the market for electric trucks is still small compared to the traditional diesel variants, the trend is clear: many of our customers are now starting their own shift to electric. We intend to be the catalyst for this transition and aim for 50 per cent of our global sales of new trucks to be electric in 2030.”
Since Volvo Trucks started production of fully electric trucks in 2019, the company has sold more than 4,300 electric trucks in more than 38 countries around the world. Volvo currently offers the industry’s broadest product line-up of electric trucks in series production, catering to a very wide variety of operational domains both in and between cities.
“We now have a product portfolio that can cover most types of transportation for all kinds of customers,” adds Alm.
“Looking at the goods flow patterns in Europe, it’s clearly possible to electrify nearly half of all those transport operations with our line-up of electric trucks. We see it as our mission to support our customers in making that happen.”

Germany – 198 Sweden – 169 Norway – 150 France – 118 Switzerland – 103 UK – 101 Netherlands – 89 Spain – 79 Denmark – 48 Belgium – 17

WE HAVE SOME IMPORTANT UPDATES FROM THE ENVIRONMENTAL AGENCY ABOUT WASTE UPHOLSTERED DOMESTIC SEATING CONTAINING PERSISTENT ORGANIC POLLUTANTS (POPS)
We just wanted to update you regarding the Environment Agency communication that outlines the banning of re-using recycling and disposal to landfill of waste domestic seating due to the likely presence of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs).
We know many of our clients are already aware of this information however EMS are in a position where we must change our procedures to be able to keep accepting this material.
POPs remain intact in the environment for extended periods and if not disposed of properly become widely distributed geographically. They accumulate in the fatty tissue of humans and wildlife and have harmful impacts on human health and on the environment.
The term ‘Domestic Seating Waste’ is to include sofas, sofa beds, armchairs, kitchen and dining room chairs, stools and foot stools, home office chairs, futons, bean bags, floor, and sofa cusions.
This includes items with any part made of or containing leather, synthetic leather, other fabric, or foam.
If an item of domestic seating waste is upholstered you should assume that it contains POPs and manage it as POPs waste.
THESE NEW RULINGS BECOME EFFECTIVE FROM 1 ST FEBRUARY 2023
All domestic seating coming into EMS will have to be separated. You can no longer bring in domestic seating as mixed waste with other waste streams. This waste stream can no longer be re-used, recycled, or landfilled and the material will be sent to incineration to be destroyed. The waste must be described on waste transfer notes as ‘Domestic Seating Containing POPs’ with EWC code 20 03 07 used. You must clearly identify the presence of POPs in your description and should identify the following chemicals. You may rely on the information below and are not expected to undertake additional sampling.
Decabromodiphenyl Ether (DecaBDE) – This is the most common
Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD)
Pentabromodipheny Ether (PenaBDE)
Tetrabromodiphenyl Ether (TetraBDE)
Antimony Trioxide
Medium Chain Chlorinated Paraffins (MCCP) Each EMS depot will have a separate bin/bay where this waste will be stored prior toincineration. The gate fee for this material will be £275.00p/t with a minimum ½ tonne charge over ourweighbridge. If you wish to have skips/roros for this material the same tonnage charge will apply with a minimum 2 tonne charge plus our zoned haulage prices.
We understand this will raise concern with many of our customers, if you wish to read more information about POPs in upholstered domestic seating please visit the following gov.uk website: www.gov.uk/guidance/manage-waste-upholstered-domestic-seating-containing-pops . If you wish to contact us to discuss further, please reach Jack at the Exeter yard. We would like to thank all our customers for your cooperation with this matter.
WE JUST WANTED TO WISH ALL OUR CUSTOMERS A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A SAFE, HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR.
As we approach the end of what can only be described as another slightly bizarre year we though now would be a good time to reflect on the positives from 2022.
We’ve been fortunate enough to continue to expand the business and work with some fantastic local contractors. We’ve had some newbies join our team and are pleased at how well they’ve settled in and quickly become an asset to the company.
We wanted to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you for all the support and well wishes we have received throughout the year. We couldn’t have done it without the support of you all and we’re looking forward to another busy and rewarding year next year.
Here at Stuart Partners we pride ourselves on our high levels of customer service and look forward to offering the same great service to all our clients throughout 2023.
We will be closing on Friday 23rd December and business will resume as usual on the 3rd January 2023.
We hope you’re all surrounded by your friends and family and that you have the best Christmas ever!
Here’s hoping for an amazing 2023 for everyone and we look forward to working with you again and really appreciate and value the ongoing support you have shown us.
On behalf of the Stuarts team, we hope your festive period is filled with happiness and fun, and we wish you all a very healthy and prosperous New Year!
SO WHAT ACTUALLY IS A BUILDERS SKIP? WELL THERE ARE LOTS OF EXPLAINATIONS BUT IN CONSTRUCTION, A SKIP IS USED FOR HOLDING WASTE AND DEBRIS PRODUCED BY WORKS SUCH AS BUILDING, DEMOLITION, LANDSCAPING, AND SO ON.
WHEN FULL IT IS LOADED ONTO THE BACK OF A LORRY AND TAKEN AWAY FOR THE WASTE TO BE DISPOSED OF AT OUR WASTE TRANSFER SITE AND USUALLY REPLACED WITH ANOTHER ONE.
SKIP HIRE FOR BUILDERS AND TRADE Commercial skip hire tends to involve a fleet of skips of various sizes, while a sole trader can hire a builders skip for each job as and when they need to. There are convenient options for any scale of operation, from the smallest of jobs to the huge volumes of inert waste produced during demolition, for example.
Skips are measured in (cubic) yards. The standard builders skip size is 6 yards: that’s one of our medium skip sizes, which is available in different formats (open, closed and drop end) to cater to a range of sites and equipment. Drop end skips are great for wheelbarrow access, while open skips are easy to fill with earthmoving equipment.
Can you put builders rubble in a skip? Soil and rubble – Can you put soil or rubble in a skip? Yes, you can put soil or rubble in a skip but you must tell us at the time of booking your skip.
SKIP SIZES AND COMPARISON
Not every job needs a standard sized builders skip. For smaller projects, or removing a small amount of rubble, mini skip hire offers a far more rugged and convenient alternative to using heavy duty refuse sacks. On the other end of the scale, large skips offer huge capacity: the equivalent of 80 bin bags in volume.
At 1.8 metres tall, a large skip hire is best reserved for large-scale domestic or smaller commercial jobs.
ROLL ON/ROLL OFF
For the biggest projects, you need the biggest skip size – and roll on/roll off (RO/RO) waste containers are the biggest in the business. Our RO/RO waste disposal containers are available up to a capacity of 40 cubic yards.
If you have enough space onsite, you may find these particularly useful if doing a complete home renovation project.
Can you put bricks into a skip? Suitable items you can put in your skip include: Household items such as – wood, tiles, plaster, furniture, paper and cardboard, garden waste and clothes. Heavy materials such as – bricks, concrete, metals, pottery and clay, rubble and stones.
How do you fill a builders skip?
The key to efficiently filling a skip is to layer. Ideally different types of item will need to go into the skip at different times.Items should be sorted into these four categories:
Flat items.
Tessellate objects (e.g objects that can be stacked together, such as bricks)
Large or bulky items.
Loose debris.
What is classed as builders rubble? Building rubble means waste produced during the construction, alteration, repair or demolition of any structure, and includes rubble, earth, rock and wood displaced during such a construction, alteration, repair or demolition
