Mermaid Quay

Mermaid Quay is a waterfront retail and leisure property. The aim is to reduce the CO2 footprint, waste and energy consumption. At the same time, recycling is to be further expanded and, of course, costs are to be reduced.

The new food waste disposal by installing a cooker reduces the quantity, humidity and weight of food waste from restaurants by 70%. Reduced disposal costs and reduced vehicle journeys, as well as reduced service charges, reduced the company's costs from £126,000 to £95,000 per year. The treated waste product is used as a soil conditioner in the planters at Mermaid Quay, as well as in landscaping and agriculture. By 150, 2019 tonnes of food waste had been processed into 50 tonnes of compost at the plant.

Mermaid Quay managed to divert 100% of its general waste from a landfill to an energy generation facility in Cardiff Bay, just under 5 km away. As a result, between 2015 and 2018, recycled material increased from 18% to 55% of total waste. As a result, overall waste decreased by 2015% from 2018 to 40.

To reduce the program's carbon footprint, Schroders introduced a phased LED bulb conversion. As a result, electricity consumption was reduced by 2,120 kW, resulting in an annual cost saving of £144,30. Future improvements also include the installation of electric vehicle charging stations, which will be installed in the parking lot in 000.
