Waste disposal may be a substantial cost to your business. Effectively you pay for your waste twice. Once when you buy the raw materials and again when you dispose of them. Consider the additional labour, energy, treatment, and processing involved, and you won't be surprised to learn that the `true' cost of waste is often 5 -20 times the cost of its disposal.

Surveys suggest that typical waste reduction projects have payback periods of months rather than years. Many waste minimisation initiatives require little or no investment, but result in significant cost savings.

Recycling and Waste Minimisation
We have a network of recycling outlets throughout the UK, through which we can broker your recyclates (often at lower cost than disposal or with repayment). We can provide a range of waste minimisation equipment to suit your recyclates and budget. Equipment available for purchase and hire.

Waste Exchange
Materials that one business might consider waste, may often prove to be a valuable resource to another business or industry. We put companies with compatible requirements in touch with one another.
