Welcome to the February/March 2024 Issue of Wastecare’s Newsletter
This year has certainly got off to a great start. Despite the daily news of conflicts across the world, global warming, and reminders of the nation’s increasing national debt, there are encouraging signs that green shoots are taking root across the economy.
Whether your interest is producer compliance, the distributor take-back scheme, the deposit return scheme or simply keeping up with new technologies in recycling, recovery and reuse, it is good to keep up with developments and share concerns and ideas. I also hope you can join us on one of our forthcoming events detailed in this newsletter.
In this edition, we discuss:
- Our upcoming Yorkshire Tour with Jumbo the Battery Elephant and Battrecycle to raise awareness on responsible battery recycling
- A whistlestop tour of our High-Temperature Incinerator, including how it works and the energy harnessed to produced electricity as a result
- Our rollout of remote engineer waste drop-off points, and the current demand for fallen stock clearance services
- How we are facilitating the collection and recycling of disposable vapes across thousands of collection points and counting nationwide
- The long-awaited WEEE regulations reform recently published by the government
- A look at the Transfrontier Shipping Regulations, raising the issue of the UK’s dependence on shipping our waste to our neighbours
- An invitation to join our February webinars on WEEE Regulations ahead of the consultation, and how to implement a takeback scheme
And much more. We hope you enjoy this latest issue of The Sustainable Insider.
