The latest report from the United Nations highlights a troubling forecast for the recycling rate of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) ♻   https://lnkd.in/eTk9T-ZF   In 2022, only 22.3% of e-waste was properly collected and recycled, leaving $62 billion worth of recoverable resources unaccounted for.   Alarmingly, this rate is projected to drop to 20% by 2030 due to the rapid increase in e-waste generation, which is rising five times faster than recycling efforts. This decline poses significant environmental and economic risks, as e-waste contains toxic materials that can harm human health and valuable metals that could be reused ⚠   S2S Group's WEEE Recycling services offer a secure, eco-friendly solution to e-waste management. By following the waste hierarchy model, we prioritise reuse before recycling, achieving a 99% recycling rate and ensuring zero waste direct to landfills. This approach helps businesses comply with UK GDPR laws, safeguarding data and promoting sustainability.   S2S Group also supports the recovery of valuable materials from e-waste, contributing to the circular economy.   https://lnkd.in/egF_iaef   #Sustainability #WEEE #Recycling

Quick marketing tip: #poweredaccess Equipment Hire Companies - the more you can show #MEWPS being used, the greater the value in attracting hire enquiries… #equipmenthire and #equipmentrental companies show static images of kit, this does zero for end user imagination (or answering) “can I do this in a MEWP?” Take a lead from consumer products marketing, they show ‘life happening whilst using their products, making things better with their product XYZ’. People don’t buy (or hire) your products - they buy how using them makes their life better in some way. And they buy (or hire) ‘solutions’ from suppliers who understand their needs, because they’re not experts. Subtle differences, but vital ones! #construction Trinity can help…

Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Unveils "Simpler Recycling" for England ♻️ DEFRA has announced a significant policy shift designed to streamline household recycling practices in England. The "Simpler Recycling" initiative will be implemented nationwide by March 31st, 2026. This initiative introduces a standardised approach, mandating all local authorities to collect a wider range of recyclables in a single bin. This simplifies the process for residents, who will typically only need one bin for most recyclables, including: - Paper and card - Glass - Metal - Plastic "Simpler Recycling" aims to achieve several key objectives: - Increase recycling rates across England, contributing to national sustainability goals. - Enhance efficiency for both residents and local authorities. Residents will face less time sorting recyclables, while councils can streamline collection processes. - Align with existing environmental initiatives, complementing efforts like bans on single-use plastics and deposit return schemes. This policy shift represents a positive step towards a more sustainable future for England. By simplifying the recycling process and encouraging increased participation, "Simpler Recycling" has the potential to significantly reduce waste sent to landfills. #Recycling #Sustainability #Environment #UKGovernment #DEFRA #WasteReduction https://lnkd.in/e2kA2KAD

Recycling of light bulbs, batteries and electricals is very important. Some bulbs contain hazardous materials that can be harmful to people and the environment. Recycling these items also helps to re-use the valuable materials within these products.

The "Simpler Recycling" initiative in England proposes significant reforms to streamline recycling practices and eliminate confusion regarding household waste management. Through targeted consultations, opinions were gathered on exemptions allowing the co-collection of specific recyclables and the development of statutory guidance. Key points from the consultations include: • Majority support for exemptions to co-collect various recyclables without a written assessment. • Concerns raised over potential impacts on recycling rates, contamination levels, and technological capabilities, but ultimately concluded that co-collection wouldn't significantly hinder recycling potential. • Varied opinions on building flexibility into waste collection contracts and defining materials in and out of scope for recyclable waste streams. • Emphasis on local authority flexibility in determining collection frequencies for garden and residual waste to maximise recycling rates while addressing logistical challenges. • Preference for anaerobic digestion as the preferred method for treating food waste, with composting permitted as an alternative. • Considerations made regarding the provision of caddy liners for food waste collections and funding mechanisms for waste collection services. As part of Simpler Recycling, the government intends to proceed with exemptions allowing co-collection of certain recyclables, including paper, card, plastic, metal, glass and the co collection of food waste with garden waste, without a written assessment. Additionally, the proposed collection frequencies include a minimum standard of a fortnightly collection for residual waste and offering garden waste collections for a minimum of 36 weeks in any calendar year, typically from March to October. These proposals aim to simplify recycling practices, enhance efficiency, and promote sustainable waste management across England. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dzZiUpPe #GreenzoneUK #GovUK #Recycling

It’s been a month since the new Welsh recycling law came into effect, transforming the way we all manage waste. With this shift, we understand that adapting to new systems and routines can be challenging. That’s why we recommend the uBin recycling system. Designed to simplify waste management, the uBin system helps you sort waste into different categories effortlessly, ensuring compliance with the new laws. Whether it’s food, paper, glass, metal, or more, uBin has got it sorted. Its user-friendly design and clear labelling make waste separation a breeze, turning an obligation into an easy daily habit.

🚨 STOP🚨 Do you currently purchase bubblewrap? Do you currently purchase void fill cardboard? After looking at the prices of the above (bubble £19 per roll and card £24 per 5kg) have you ever considered shredding your cardboard waste on site and re-using? Not only is this saving on collection fees for the material but also saving on the expensive purchase of the materials. Below is a short video showing you how easy it is to shred 5kg of cardboard on site, it takes about 1-2 minutes to process that quantity and all in a machine which in comparison is not expensive (rental or purchase options available). Let me know your thoughts below and feel free to DM me if it might be of interest.
