A circular economy strategy for the education sector


The Hazardous Waste Regulations (2005) require any company or institution producing hazardous waste to segregate it in the appropriate containers, and for it to be collected and treated responsibly. These collections must be carried out by a licensed hazardous waste management service such as Wastecare.

For the education sector, implementing a sustainable and efficient waste management plan is key to the circular economy.

With over 40 years’ experience of working with the education sector, we understand that institutions require waste management plans unique to their student intake whilst hitting the government’s targets within their present Resource and Waste strategy. Simultaneously, waste initiatives rolled out need to be cost-efficient.

We are committed to building sustainable hazardous waste management programmes within educational institutions. We will aid rollout, collection schedules, and provide the tools required to educate pupils on how to fully utilise these services.
