In 2023, Veolia committed to further its sustainability and environmental responsibility by expanding its electric fleet and introducing a groundbreaking initiative in Dover and Folkestone. Taking a significant step towards reducing emissions and promoting a cleaner future, Veolia proudly launched the district's first waste collection e-bike. This innovative bike has become an integral part of the waste collection process, primarily servicing the bustling seafront at Folkestone while also being trialled in various other areas across both districts.
By replacing conventional waste collection methods involving diesel vehicles and sweeper barrows, this e-bike has not only made collections during busy periods safer but has also been instrumental in improving air quality and reducing noise pollution. Its electric-powered engine ensures zero emissions, making it an environmentally friendly alternative that aligns perfectly with Veolia's sustainability goals. Residents and visitors alike can now enjoy cleaner and quieter streets, further enhancing the overall quality of life in Dover and Folkestone.
Veolia's introduction of the waste collection e-bike showcases its dedication to implementing innovative solutions that positively impact the community and the environment. By embracing cutting-edge technology and sustainable practices, Veolia continues to lead the way in waste management, setting an inspiring example for other companies in the industry.
