Waste Reduction and Recycling Initiatives
As a result of major regulatory changes over the last few years, waste management continues to receive a major focus. Legislative changes have had a significant impact on all waste producers, ensuring that they take responsibility for their wastes streams by way of stricter controls, waste classification, segregation and ultimately ensuring acceptance into disposal outlets such as landfill sites and treatment centres. As well as waste being subject to more stringent controls, some waste disposal costs have increased by as much as 300%.
ThyssenKrupp Services has focussed on assisting its customers, the waste producer, to comply with all applicable legislation through the provision of advice, guidance and support, as well as providing leadership and management in areas such as:
- Waste segregation and disposal
- Waste classification
- Waste analyses
- Recycling
