Mass Balance & Sustainability

Mass Balance

BiffawardIn 1997 Biffa Waste Services produced a report entitled Great Britain plc , which presented a first analysis of resource flows within the UK at a regional level (Biffa, 1997). Since then, a series of studies have been undertaken on different resources and for different regions, facilitated by the Biffaward funded Mass Balance UK project. TRADA Technology Ltd with TRIC and a range of partners from the timber using industries have developed a mass balance analysis of the wood consumed in the UK.

FIRA - Sustainability in the Furniture Industry

FIRA: Furniture Industry Research AssociationIn recent years the Furniture Industry Research Association (FIRA) and partners have developed one of the most extensive knowledge bases on sustainability issues for the furniture industry. Here with TRIC the association presents a collection of findings from research. A number of the projects were supported by Biffaward in parallel with Mass Balance.
