There are always heavy costs associated with producing waste, in terms of monetary loss & sustainability, and also the long-term impact on the environment. So it goes without saying that the true cost of waste generation is far greater than just the expense of the disposal. There is the additional cost of raw materials, energy and labour involved to consider, which can be 5-20 times higher than the cost of disposal.

Effective waste management helps us to become compliant with increasingly strict legislation that aims to limit the environmental impact of landfill sites as well as having significant financial benefits to our businesses.

Benefits include:

• Waste disposal cost savings due to reduced volumes,
  effectively increasing profits
• Reduced impact to the environment
• Improved public perception

Organisations that have already introduced an effective waste management system have proved that it is a sound business strategy. As well as environmental reasons for minimising waste there are many advantageous business ones too:

• A systematic waste reduction programme could save 1% of turnover.
• Average return periods for such programmes can be realised within months, rather than years.
• Many waste reduction measures cost nothing, yet reap significant rewards.
• Increasingly businesses are demanding environmentally friendly policies from their suppliers.
• Environmentally friendly issues are becoming progressively more important to customers.
• Waste is more expensive than many realise. Taking into account
  the price of materials, treatment, energy and wasted labour, you’ll
  find the real cost of waste can be 5–20 times that of the disposal.
• Legislation in the UK and Europe is forcing us to all address the issue of waste. Non-compliance will mean fines. Even prosecution.

Sooner or later, waste minimisation will not be a matter of choice -
it’ll be a survival issue.

What should my next step be?
Our experienced advisers can carry out a full analysis of your waste disposal needs over the telephone or by conducting a full site survey and a cost evaluation, at no obligation and free of charge.

We have an extensive range of semi and fully automatic balers, which have enabled our customers to make significant financial savings whilst minimizing the impact on the environment in accordance with ever increasing eco-friendly legislation.

Using one of our mill size balers will also generate income, the greater the load of recyclable material the better the revenue. This will of course decrease the amount of waste sent to landfill and will therefore considerably reduce waste disposal transport costs, consequently saving on escalating landfill tax charges. This also applies to our comprehensive range of static and portable waste compactors.
