Devon Contract Waste partners with Exeter Chiefs
Devon Contract Waste (DCW) has announced a partnership with Exeter Chiefs to promote recycling and sustainability at the Sandy Park stadium.

Grant Scott, Regional Business Manager at DCW commented; “We are thrilled to partner with Exeter Chiefs and support their commitment to sustainability. Our goal is to make recycling more accessible and efficient for everyone at Sandy Park, and we’re excited to see the positive impact this initiative will have. It has been a real team effort.”

Hitachi Zosen Inova becomes Kanadevia Inova
Hitachi Zosen Inova has announced a rebrand as Kanadevia Inova.
The name change was agreed upon as part of a unifying initiative from its parent company, Kanadevia Corporation.
There will not be any change to the ownership of the company, organisational structure, management or its employees.
The Zurich-based technology company said that the new name comes with “a renewed commitment to a future free of wasted waste”.
The name “Kanadevia” derives from the Japanese word “Kanaderu”, which means to play or perform music in harmony, and the Latin word “via”, meaning the way. Inova is intended to represent the company’s “continuous drive for innovation and excellence”.
Hitachi Zosen Inova was founded in Switzerland in 1933 as L. von Roll Aktiengesellschaft, later becoming Von Roll Inova. It became the Hitachi Zosen Corporation in 2010 after joining the Hitachi Zosen Corporation (as of today, Kanadevia Corporation).
