A company dedicated to minimising waste and maximising the lifespan of resources, ReCon Waste Management have doubled-down on their commitment to Northern Ireland’s circular economy by partnering with 3T Power to power their facilities with 100% renewable energy generated in Northern Ireland, demonstrating how collaboration can drive sustainability, economic growth, and community engagement.

Commenting on their partnership with 3T Power and why it made sense to seek renewable electricity generated locally 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.”

With a shared commitment to preserving and harnessing Northern Ireland’s natural resources in a sustainable way, Both 3T Power and ReCon share a vision to transform how Northern Ireland uses and values its natural resources. Their work aligns with key goals of the circular economy by keeping resources in use and within the usage cycle, minimising waste and emissions, and delivering environment and economic value to local communities.

For 3T Power, this focus becomes evident through our continued work with local businesses, providing them with access to 100% locally generated renewable electricity, sourced from wind, solar, and waste-to-energy generation. Rather than promoting the usage of traditional fossil fuels – which are derived from finite resources, can damage the environment, and are impacted by price fluctuations due to weather disruptions, tariffs, and political upheaval – 3T Power’s approach focuses on energy production and consumption within Northern Ireland, creating a more self-sufficient and sustainable energy supply model. Our mission extends across many sectors, from hospitality and education, to manufacturing and community venues.

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 – Innovation, Scale and Continued Collaboration

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.

Together, we are encouraging other Northern Irish businesses to consider a shift toward collaboration where waste, energy, water, and land use are planned and managed in a connected, circular way.
