The growing cost of waste disposal

With the forthcoming EU Landfill Directive threatening to result in even greater rises in the cost of trade waste, smart organisations are now looking to Orwak to help them better manage their waste.

As well as increased “pre-treatment” costs associated with the latest stage of the Landfill Directive, Landfill Tax is also being utilised to encourage businesses to improve their waste disposal activities. The Landfill Tax has increased every year since its foundation in 2002 and currently stands at £24 per tonne. However, this is set to increase by £8 every year, meaning that by 2010 the landfill tax will have doubled to £48 per tonne.

Orwak, the UK’s leading supplier of waste balers, offers a complete range of waste processing equipment that can help organisations implement a simple and cost-effective recycling policy. By segregating, baling and recycling waste on your site, you can ensure your compliance with the Landfill Directive and could even help convert your waste from a bottom-line cost into a valuable commodity.
