"After talking with all the major energy suppliers NPower clearly stood out to us as the best option.
To the best of our knowledge Sweeep is the first WEEE plant to be totally powered from renewable energy.
Recycling is considered a 'green' industry and it amazes me how few other companies have even considered using renewable energy to power their recycling centres.
100% renewable energy was the target we had set for Sweeep and with the help of NPower we have fully realised this".
