ARTICLE

Energy Price Rises Impact Recycling

Materials prices rise and services are stripped 

We’re all experiencing the impact of increased energy prices and inflation on goods and services.  The waste and recycling industry is no exception, and this week we’ve seen stories of how recycling rates and prices of materials recovered for recycling are being impacted.


Recycling companies in Europe will struggle to break even due to soaring energy prices; in turn having an impact on the amount of plastics that can be recycled.    Closer to home, Councils under pressure to save money are looking to streamline or reduce services available to households.


In the recycling market itself, the value of recovered goods such as paper and plastics has fallen – again blamed on high energy prices and lower demand for products driven by the high cost of living.

SECTOR FOCUS 

Focus on schools

   

Reducing the cost of school waste

It’s that time of year when we’re back to school, with the new academic year starting.   For schools and colleges, September is the busy time of welcoming new students, settling into new timetables and getting ready for the coming term.


Waste isn’t a subject you hear of a lot in schools, but with over 250,000 tonnes of waste a year generated by schools, for us it’s a hot topic.


Waste generated by schools can include food waste, electricals, cardboard and general waste; and managing these in an efficient, sustainable and tidy way is paramount.  Read more in our blog about school waste.
