Sustain’s reputation for reliability and environmentally responsible practice closely aligns with the heritage and forward-looking ambitions of Carter Thermal Industries.

This collaboration strengthens Carter Thermal Industries Group sustainability commitments and supports its wider environmental objectives, enabling a more joined-up, circular approach to refrigeration equipment across manufacture, installation, refurbishment and end-of-life recovery. Together, Carter Thermal Industries and Sustain Recycling aim to set a new benchmark for sustainability within the cooling sector — delivering tangible value for clients and partners alike.
Chris Hufflett, Chief Executive Officer at Carter Thermal Industries, commented:
“We are delighted to welcome Sustain Recycling as an Official Sustainability Partner to the CTI Group. Our shared commitment to circularity and responsible processes aligns perfectly. We look forward to working closely together, supporting one another and driving meaningful progress on our sustainability journey.”
For Carter Synergy, this collaboration strengthens our ability to support clients with more sustainable outcomes on live projects – enabling better management of equipment lifecycles, reduced waste, increased reuse and measurable carbon savings, without compromising performance, safety or programme delivery.

James Warburton, Managing Director at Sustain Recycling, added:
“This partnership marks an exciting step forward for sustainability within the refrigeration industry. By working closely with Carter Thermal Industries, we can deepen and enhance circularity in a way that delivers real value – not only through reuse, but by achieving financial and carbon savings across material use and waste streams. We are proud to be chosen as Carter’s sustainability partner and look forward to breaking new ground together.”
Looking Forward
We look forward to working closely with Sustain Recycling and our CTI colleagues to embed circularity into everyday delivery.
This partnership unlocks significant potential to manage both manufacturing and client waste streams in a genuinely circular manner – enabling reuse, recovery of valuable raw materials and further innovation to deliver additional carbon reductions across the equipment lifecycle.
