North East, UK - Minimising Commercial Waste and the Environmental Impact

Minimising Commercial Waste has a huge impact on the environment and will help us to protect our world moving forward. As a business owner, you may not have thought a huge amount about your waste before, how you can minimise it and protect the environment, as well as be able to earn money back from the waste you produce.

Your business and commercial waste can be anything from food, wood/timber, garden waste, plastic, paper, cardboard, paper, aluminium/steel cans, glass, packaging, electronic equipment, printer cartridges, office furniture, drink cups, fluorescent light tubes, batteries, scrap metal, bricks/tiles/concrete, hazardous waste such as asbestos, paints, solvents and much more.

Waste which is produced as a result of business activity is classed as controlled waste and you are legally responsible for disposing of it safely and correctly. If a business or, even a householder loses control of their waste or they haven’t taken reasonable care to prevent this from happening then a breach of a ‘Duty of Care’ is committed. You can view the Waste Duty of Care here.

A professional waste management company like 1st choice Waste can support you with your waste management and will dispose of it safely, legally and in an environmentally friendly way, as well as you being able to earn money back from your waste, reducing your waste costs.

A responsible and reputable waste management company will recycle as much of your waste as possible and a company like 1st Choice Waste Management has its own waste management site as well as a biomass boiler which converts all possible waste into renewable energy.

Biomass energy is a renewable energy source generated from natural or once-living material like; wood, timber, wood pellets, branches, roots, grass clippings, manure, crops, garden waste and much more. The materials are burned in a biomass boiler and the chemical energy created is released as heat, thus biomass. Biomass provides energy for homes, businesses and communities as well as creating steam which can drive wind and tide turbines.
