Packaging Waste

Nationwide Packaging Collection and Recycling

What Is Packaging Waste?

Packaging materials are used for many purposes and are part of our daily life. Transport packaging helps in the safe delivery of products, Sales packaging protects and contains goods and Secondary packaging improves the presentation of products.

Packaging Waste Collection Nationwide

With more and more businesses being aware of the environment and the impact waste has on it, most people now understand the importance of recycling. Not only is it good for the environment, it is also good for business.

The most commonly used packaging materials are:

Paper
Glass
Cardboard
Card
Tin
Plastic
Wood
Aluminium

All of these materials are recyclable or reusable but more often than not end up in general waste and landfill.

There is a staggering amount of plastic packaging produced each year worldwide and around a third of it ends up polluting the environment. It is vitally important to keep packaging to a minimum, reuse where possible and always recycle.

It is important to separate your packaging waste to minimise the chance of it going into general waste and ending up in landfill. GWR Waste Management can help you identify your packaging waste requirements so your collections can be as cost effective and as environmentally friendly as possible.

Packaging Waste Bins

Depending on the amount of packaging waste your business produces will dictate the type of waste bin you need.

We have wheelie bins in 240/360/660/1100ltr

For larger producers of packaging waste our front and rear-end loaders (FEL/REL) may be more suitable.

We can arrange the size of bin and the frequency of collections to suit your needs.

What Happens To Packaging Waste?

Once your packaging waste has been collected it is taken to a specialist recycling centre where it is sorted into the different types of waste.

Everything that can be recycled will be processed appropriately and anything that can not be recycled will be disposed of using the best methods to minimise the effects on the environment.

GWR Waste Management is working towards zero to landfill so we will do everything we can to ensure all waste is processed properly.
