The introduction of the banning of Co-Disposal has had a direct impact on the land filling of many waste streams and certainly has been the cause of recent waste disposal cost increases. It is now more important than ever to seek recycling solutions for as much waste as possible that not only improves environmental compliance but also to reduce cost. In addition, regulations on banning the disposal of refrigerators, along with the recent introduction of the Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment Regulations and Hazardous Waste Regulations will further impact the waste producer. Howard Smith Paper Group, working with WasteCare, believe the policy of achieving maximum recycling is totally in tune with the policy of zero to landfill. Currently, WasteCare is achieving recycling levels of 93% across all waste streams.

As with most organisations, in the past, waste management has been handled in a piecemeal fashion, as problems arise, solutions have been found. Regulations have now meant that new solutions need to be found for new problems. WasteCare offers a total waste management programme for all types of industrial and related waste streams. With the largest dedicated fleet in the UK handling hazardous and difficult wastes, Wastecare is able to provide a guaranteed collection response throughout the country.
