ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL WASTES

Effective and responsible waste collection from businesses requires a different approach to dealing with household waste, according to Premier Waste Management.

Premier is responding to a report commissioned by Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP) on behalf of the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG). The report looked at three methods of waste collection - co-mingled, two-stream and kerbside – and in particular the overall financial, environmental and social impacts associated with each collection system. 

At North East Recycling Forum (NERF) meetings Mark Stouph, Premier’s director of risk management presents an update on the latest legislation for the waste and recycling sector.
Here is the update from the March 2011 NERF meeting.

Premier Waste Management took the gold award for the Corporate Responsibility category at the 2010 PRide awards for public relations work.

The award was for our project with Newcastle College 3D design students to raise their awareness of the importance of reuse, recycling and safe disposal. These 16 to 19 year olds were at the first stage of their training to become the architects, product designers and artists of the future (the class has now graduated).

Earlier in the year we had a visit from ITV Fixers, they did some filming at a Premier material recycling facility. They wanted to see how material is sorted out and baled ready to be recycled.

The film is now online and can be seen here: http://vimeo.com/17160460

The ITV Fixers are hoping to take this into schools to engage young people in learning about recycling and the problems of littering.
