What Is An Effective Waste And Environmental Management Service?
For those who don’t know, waste management these days doesn’t necessarily look like a bin lorry visiting site once a week and removing your waste in one go.
An effective waste and environmental management service will conduct a thorough waste assessment of your premises, analysing the types and quantities of waste generated, potential areas for waste reduction, and assessing recycling opportunities. Based on this assessment, recommendations and strategies to optimise waste management practices should be discussed, such as efficient waste collection schedules, proper waste segregation methods, and guidelines for implementing recycling and repurposing initiatives to ensure an effective and sustainable waste management system.

opportunities for reuse and recycling, for example, cardboard and plastic. Firstly a route to reuse any waste stream would be the ideal solution. Some waste types will even attract rebates from companies willing to buy waste in order to manufacture and upcycle into new products. The second solution would be to recycle your waste streams. This can be done by individual waste stream and also via a mixed recycling route at a refuse recycling centre. The final option would be to send any general waste that cannot be recycled or repurposed, through a specialised waste-to-energy conversion process. This method involves harnessing the energy contained within the waste to generate power utilising advanced technologies, waste can then be transformed into a valuable resource, reducing the reliance on fossil fuels and promoting renewable energy alternatives. Food waste too, can be converted into biogas and then energy through the process of anaerobic digestion, ensuring all waste is diverted from landfill.
