Driving Waste Down And Sustainability Up: Projex-1 Paves the Way with Orwak Flex 5030

When Projex-1 Accident Repair Centre opened its doors in January 2025, sustainability was more than just a tick-box exercise, it was embedded in how the business would run from day one.

Working closely with Orwak Easi UK Ltd and the NBRA, the Projex-1 team identified early wins that would support their efficiency goals without complicating day-to-day operations.

One such decision was the introduction of the Orwak Flex 5030, a compact in-bag waste compactor designed to handle mixed workshop waste with ease and hygiene.

For a growing Bodyshop, where space is tight and bin costs add up, the 5030 offers a quiet but significant shift. With compaction ratios of up to 10:1, it turns bulky, waste into neatly packed bags – reducing both disposal volume and collection frequency.

Kevin, Director at Projex-1, says the results have been immediate:
“We have already noticed the savings that have been made. It’s straightforward to use, keeps the space tidy, and helps us manage waste much more efficiently, without disrupting the team’s workflow.”

The move also ties in directly with Projex-1’s commitment to environmental best practice. As active users of the NBRA’s Aries (Accident Repair Industry Environmental Standard) framework, which supports Bodyshop’s in monitoring and improving their carbon footprint, they are already aligning their operational choices with a wider drive for carbon reduction and sustainable performance.

John Wannell, Orwak Easi UK Ltd, added:
“We are really pleased to see forward-thinking repairers like Projex-1 embrace this kind of solution. It’s not just about saving money, it’s about creating cleaner, more compliant workshops that can scale up without the waste getting in the way.”
