Implement waste segregation
Proper waste segregation allows businesses to treat organic and recyclable waste more efficiently. By turning organic waste into compost or resources for other industries, businesses can reduce waste management costs, enhance sustainability and create new revenue streams.
Utilise waste-to-energy solutions
Businesses can reduce landfill waste by opting for waste-to-energy solutions, where non-recyclable waste is incinerated to produce energy. This can reduce disposal costs and contributes to energy production, playing a part in boosting sustainability efforts.
2025 Food Waste Compliance Support
From March 2025, UK businesses must comply with new food waste legislation, separating food from general waste to increase recycling rates and benefit the environment. This law mandates that all businesses store food waste separately and engage licensed carriers for its disposal, aiming to significantly reduce landfill waste.

We provide expert waste management support, ensuring businesses meet legal requirements efficiently. Our services include waste assessment, provision of appropriate bins, and organised waste collection schedules, all designed to streamline your operations and enhance your sustainability efforts.
