A waste management company has joined a framework which it claims will cut the amount of construction waste which is sent to
landfill.
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.
