Waste and recycling

    Waste and recycling industry

    On the move

    By segregating and recycling at source as much possible, we can make waste work more effectively for you, not just by reducing waste volumes but by recovering energy or financial value from your waste that would otherwise be lost.

    The waste management industry is on the move. Its changing role as a raw material is evolving and the introduction of waste to energy power plants has led to several new markets such as ashes and granulates being used as building materials.

    Our process can include the overall visual determination to ensure grading meets industry standards or more thorough inspection processes can be completed; for example, a report on cleanliness, contaminants, foreign objects and moisture content can be produced.
