Birmingham firm aims to 'halve construction waste sent to landfill'
Mar 12 2009
Premier Waste UK has voluntarily joined the Waste and Resources Action Programme's Halving Waste to Landfill agreement which hopes to cut the amount of demolition and excavation waste sent to landfill by 50 per cent.
This target is considered to be both environmentally and financially critical as landfill capacity is now becoming restricted and he cost of waste disposal is increasing.
Wayne Clark, Premier Waste operations director, said: "Disposal of waste to landfill is becoming an increasingly expensive option, so recovering waste in ever greater amounts is really the only sustainable answer in the long term from both an economic and environmental perspective."
The Sunday Herald recently reported that Scottish environmental legislation aiming to boost recycling targets may be failing.
