Legislation
Legislation
All businesses are currently required to separate the recyclable content from their general waste, but new legislation coming in to force in April 2025 requires further separation an reporting of food waste, for all businesses with 10+ employees and produce in excess of 5kg.
Additional legislation is also being discussed that could require businesses to separate all recyclable waste into the individual waste streams, Paper/Card, Metal, Plastic, glass etc. which will create a number of new challenges for both waste producers and collectors

Waste hierarchy

Social and Environmental pressures are forcing companies to look at their waste and how they can improve things to reduce their carbon footprint. Reduce, Reuse and recycle are ways companies improve their waste practises
Compost and Energy Recovery are ways SDS minimise the impact your waste has on the environment.
Landfill is a last resort as this has the biggest impact on the environment, at SDS less than 0.1% of the waste collected ends up in landfill

Time vs Money
Time vs Money
It is very easy to simply throw all your waste in one bin and let someone else deal with it, but for what little time it takes to separate the various streams, the financial savings and environmental benefits will make it worthwhile. Mixed recycling collections are approximately 30% cheaper than general waste, and single stream waste could actually produce a small revenue.
