Collections are sorted into appropriate recycling streams to maximise resource recovery while ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. This service supports businesses in reducing landfill impact and improving sustainability metrics.
Hazardous waste disposal
Our hazardous waste disposal service manages materials like chemicals, WEEE, and aerosols safely and legally. We offer mobile chemist support for classification, secure packaging, and compliant transportation to treatment facilities. This includes documentation and reporting to ensure adherence to environmental agency requirements, minimising liability for businesses handling regulated substances.
Plastic recycling
As the UK's leading plastic recycler, we process over 190,000 tonnes of plastic annually into food-grade rPET and rHDPE pellets. Our facilities in Redcar, Seaham, and Sherburn enable closed-loop recycling for packaging manufacturers. This service reduces reliance on virgin plastics while providing certified recycled content solutions that meet strict industry standards for quality and safety.

We collect and process food waste through anaerobic digestion facilities that generate biogas and liquid fertiliser. Our solutions include segregated collection systems and data reporting to help businesses track diversion rates. This service supports sustainability goals by converting waste into renewable energy and agricultural resources while reducing methane emissions from landfills.
