We’re experts in delivering solutions that challenge, innovate and create a better way of working, which is why we’re committed to investing in innovation at every level of our operation so that we can bring fresh ideas and technological advancement to you. The ability to review data to establish best practice is a critical tool utilised by our Corporate Innovation Consultants and Sustainability Managers.
Best practice often exists with a business but isn’t shared; our ability to identify and share these solutions can significantly impact overall recycling levels. Our experience and knowledge of your sector means that we can identify best practice taking place outside of your business, which gives you the ability to assess your environmental credentials against those of your peers.
TURN WASTE INTO CUSTOMERS
GET MORE FROM NOVATI!
Strong sustainability credentials help you win and retain customers.
A key report has been published by Market to highlighting the changes in buyer motivation in the new era, the report highlights the following:
“Buyers are increasingly motivated by a number of other factions – which could be key differentiators. Sustainability is an essential area of consideration with 67% of buyers seeking to work with companies that are striving to lower their impact on the environment.”
- Today’s buyer is motivated by a new range of needs that are quite different to the traditional ones.
- There is a generational shift that is impacting the buying process.
- Brands have to live up to their Green claims or face buyer backlashes.
- People, ethics and the ‘big social issues’ of the day coupled with purpose and brand values are a critical part of the buying experience.
Therefore, clear demonstration of strategy, policies and targets for items such as Zero to Landfill, recycling etc are no longer “nice to have” but are essential in persuading potential customers to choose your company and also keeping existing customers on side in order to retain them.
Your NOVATI MORE program has been operating for several years with great success in answering all of the needs of today’s buyer.
NOVATI MORE keeps you on track with environmental legislation; delivering sustainability and lowering your environmental impact. Our reporting can be used to share with stake holders as a demonstration that you are living up to your Green credentials.
INNOVATION IN ACTION
Every year UK industry landfills an estimated 8,000,000 air filters. The Resources & waste strategy fo England sets forth the need for us to think differently about waste. It’s a call to action for industry and asks us to look for new and innovative ways to reduce our impact on the environment.
NOVATI Filter Clean are the only air filter refurbishment company operating in the UK. Our expert team provide an innovative cleaning solution and our results have been tested by Particle Technology Ltd who are on of the UK’s leading and most respected particle testing and manufacturing companies. We’re here to help you by Reducing, Reusing and Recycling your filters because we view your waste as a resource.
THE PROCESS
THE WASTE HIERARCHY
IN ACTION
NOVATI Filter Clean solutions drives cost out of your business. Where filters are tested and deemed suitable, they can be reused up to 4 times. This means you don’t have to buy in as many filters in the first place.
WE GO ONE STOP FURTHER
When you buy refurbished filters from NOVATI Filter Clean the average purchase cost is up to 50% lower than the cost of buying a new filter.
Just a few of the filters we Refurbish and prepare for Reuse include:
- Engine Intake filters
- Cab filters
- DPF filters
- Compressor Intake filters
- Pleated cartridge filters
- Panel filters
- Lower filters

NET ZERO
UK Government has legally bound us to reduce emissions in England to net-zero by 2050. Scotland has an accelerated timeline of 2045 which we believe is the partially facilitated by the fact it has more naturally renewable energy resources at its disposal. Because the economy for Wales is heavily tilted towards agriculture its legally binding goal is a 95% reduction by 2050.
Many business are now creating roadmaps to plot their journey towards net-zero. In the short term, the majority are focused on Scope 1 & 2 ‘Direct’ and ‘Indirect Emissions’. Scope 3 ‘Other Indirect Emissions’ is a far more complex subject in terms of both data capture and the ability to create change.
Waste falls within Scope 3 which is where we can help you.
Much like the wast hierarchy, the carbon hierarchy acts as a pyramid.
We believe that carbon offsetting plays an import role in addressing climate change because it provides a ‘polluter pays’ mechanism’ that affords a level of responsibility to the emitter and puts a price on carbon. IT helps investment in low and zero carbon schemes, reduces reliance on fossil fuels, reduces poor air quality, increases biodiversity gains, as well as social health and wellbeing benefits.
We’re not in the habit of ‘greenwashing’ our clients or consumers which is why we won’t talk to you purely about carbon offsetting projects.

SOCIAL VALUE
We recognise the importance of the principles of sustainability and will address these principles in a committed and co-ordinated manner. The overall objective is to balance the environmental, economic and social factors that our activities can affect and to manage these factors in a controlled way to achieve good sustainability practice.
We believe that social value has a huge potential to help us change the way we understand the world around us, and make decisions about where to invest resources. By changing the way we account for value, we believe that we will end up with a world with more equality and a more sustainable environment. Our strategy focuses heavily on our people, our local community and our service partners.
From the combination of our behaviours, business strategy and activities relating to NOVATI and our customers, we are proud to have created £294,035 of social value in 2019.
All figures have been calculated using the National TOMs 2019 Basic Calculator.
Our ‘Connecting Communities’ program encapsulates our volunteer work in the local community.
We’ve work closely with Lovers Lane Primary School in Newark to build a Recycled Greenhouse as well as tidying and redecorating children’s’ play areas.

Having a sustainability strategy isn’t enough; we need to engage with staff to create buy-in and move people towards a common goal. Communication is the key to engagement contributing to the successful delivery of a scheme by stimulating and helping to maintain an interest in how individuals can better manage our natural resources.
Climate change is a topic currently taking centre stage. Almost everyone wants to play their part, big or small, in creating a more sustainable future for our children and our children’s children.

SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability starts with understand your “must have’s”, “satisfiers” and “delighters”, we deliver services tailored to satisfy these needs. Over the years, your requirements and expectations will change and we’re committed to ensuring we adapt so that we’re consistently delightning you with our solutions.
Your approach to sustainability always begins with the identification of your positioning within the waste hierarchy and your contribution to the circular economy.
Historically we view the waste hierarchy as a traditional pyramid with emphasis on the use of landfill which was the common end destination for materials.
Our approach to resource management helps to create a sustainable transition to an inverted hierarchy and means we must first move through a diamond hierarchy. We don’t want to see any material going to landfill and we want to ensure we recycle wherever possible.
A truly inverted waste hierarchy means we place maximum emphasis on Reducing and Reusing waste by looking at the full life-cycle of materials, redesigning packaging and questioning if we really need to buy a product.
History shows us that we operated a “Linear Economy” which only uses resources once, but we’re running our of natural resources so we msut find alternative solutions.
Natural Resources
Take
Make
Use
Waste
The “Circular Economy” focuses on renewable resources by taking a product and re-using it instead of sourcing raw materials to create new products.
Our job is to create sustainable solutions that minimise the impact our actions have on the environment. We’re pretty good at it and it’s why we work with some of the UK’s most recognisable brands. We don’t want sustainable solutions to be kept a secret. we want to share best practice, that’s why we publish case studies that show our work.
