Re-Gen Support Sentinus “STEM” Initiative - 21st April 2010.
Colin Doherty, in his role as a “STEM Ambassador”, worked with Year 13 pupils from our Our Lady’s Grammar School in Newry on a
“Sentinus - Team R+D” project which looked at resolving a common problem within the recycling industry – unraveled videotape or
similar materials catching and fouling conveyor belt bearings.
Sentinus - a not for profit educational charity - brings real world experience into the classroom.
The students are encouraged to engage with companies to assist in solving actual commercial problems.
The organization has a particular focus on promoting “Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics” (STEM) as career choices.
Commenting on the project Colin said:
“It was great working with such an enthusiastic group of young engineers. They approached their tasks with discipline and applied
sound scientific and engineering principles when seeking a solution to this problem. It also gave me the opportunity to interact
with staff from the Mechanical Engineering Department at QUB who acted as the student’s co-mentors on the project. The solution they came up with was both practical and cost effective”

Joseph Doherty visits Novelis in Warrington – 6th May 2010
Joseph Doherty continued his “Focus on the customer” visits with a trip to Novelis in Warrington.
We have enjoyed a fruitful relationship with Novelis and Commercial Manager Keith Guest stated:
‘Novelis Recycling has been working with Re-Gen Waste for over 5 years. The deliveries of aluminium cans
that come in to the Novelis reprocessing plant in Warrington from Re-Gen Waste are of a consistently high
standard and excellent quality, meaning that they reliably meet Novelis Recycling’s strict specifications.’
‘At Novelis we maintain a stringent specification for deliveries because this is essential in ensuring that
the cans we receive are of the right quality to maintain our ‘close loop recycling’ system. It is vital that
our suppliers maintain quality and reduce the presence of contaminants within the loads being sent to Novelis.
The activity carried out at MRFs, such as the one at Re-Gen, is fundamental to that process and we are always
happy to recognise and support suppliers such as Re-Gen Waste who dependably meet this specification through
the quality procedures they have put in place.’

visited a number of our UK based End Customers. Joseph is pictured here meeting with Nick Clough, Materials
Manager, whilst Re-Gen is making a delivery in the background.
Commenting on his most recent trip Joseph remarked:
“I enjoy these visits and they are important to us as a business. Whilst we at Re-Gen make extensive use of email,
the internet and other technologies - it’s hard to beat talking to our customers face to face. Visiting waste
re-processors in particular allows us to see at 1st hand the issues and problems they have to deal with on a regular
basis and through this interaction we can often tweak or amend our service offering to better match their particular
or individual requirements.”
