Recycling for Industry

In order to recycle within Industry, Veolia suggests considering the following;

Assess how much waste is generated from your office/business?

• Carry out a waste assessment for your business- this means determining the types of waste that are produced i.e. paper, plastics and metals.
• Assess the amount of waste that is generated and what part of your operations produces the majority of this waste.

Veolia can carry out a waste audit for your business.

What materials do you and your business want to recycle?

In order to develop a recycling system, you should identify what waste materials you wish to recycle and what you are capable of implementing.

How can you implement a recycling system in your workplace?

Creating a recycling system on site can be easy; Veolia Environmental Services has helped many Industrial businesses to create a workable and efficient recycling system. Once you have determined what to recycle, the logistics of collection systems need to be considered.

• The use of specific bins for selected waste streams is a great point at which to start. Veolia can provide these bins, and work with you to determine how often the collection of these recyclables is necessary.
• It is also important to educate your staff on what materials are to be accepted for recycling. The use of signage and other educational aids for staff members will ensure that the recyclable systems set up are adhered to.
