Take household waste as an example: 50% is potentially recyclable and a further 20% could be composted. However, only 12% of household waste is recycled or composted, whilst around 78% is landfilled.

Businesses have a comparable opportunity to deal with their waste in an environmentally friendly fashion. Recycling not only reduces the volume of waste that goes to landfill, but also uses less energy causing less pollution, and it reduces the demand of primary materials.

For businesses, the environmental incentive for minimising the amount of waste sent to landfill is further increased by the burden of landfill tax. This tax is currently increasing by a little under 10% annually, and as surveys show that these rises may not be substantially reducing the waste sent to landfill, more rapid increases in the future cannot be ruled out.

At Tag Environmental we keep up to date with all new initiatives to recycle or recover materials. We will offer you a range of alternative methods of waste disposal and assess all possibilities for reduction, reuse and recycling for each waste stream, and thus reduce the cost of your waste disposal, as well as being beneficial to the environment.
