To reduce waste where possible is the best environmental option. Although minimising waste requires more effort and cost initially, savings can be made in the long term.

To reuse will consume less energy than recycling.

To recycle will expend more energy than reducing or reusing but is better than sending waste to landfill.

Every company has an impact on the environment, therefore environmental legislation impacts on every company.

Legislation applies more responsibilities than most businesses realise. Areas where you are accountable include:-
- Air
- ELV
- Energy
- Packaging
- Solvents
- Waste
- Water
- WEEE

If you have manufactured or imported goods you are still responsible for the safe disposal of them after they have been sold. Legislation applies to the design and import of products as well as the disposal of them.

Please call us on 0870 224 8811 for advice on which legislation is relevant to you.

The ‘Duty of Care’ law says that you must take all responsible steps to dispose of your waste safely so that it does not cause pollution of the environment, harm to human health or serious detriment to local amenities.

If you give your waste to someone else you must be sure that they are authorised to take it and can transport, recycle or dispose of it safely. They must have been issued with a Waste Management License by the Environment Agency.

The ‘Duty of Care’ applies to anyone who produces or imports, keeps or stores, treats or disposes of waste. It also applies if you act as a broker and arrange any of these things.

If you break this law you can be fined an unlimited amount.
