How does The Procurement Group help you manage waste and reduce costs?
The Procurement Group helps organisations take a strategic approach to waste, combining cost reduction with legal compliance and stronger CSR. We assess your waste streams, recycling and collection frequencies, select approved contractors from a wide network and monitor performance and data, so you cut landfill, avoid fines, lower disposal costs and demonstrate credible environmental performance.
Landfill tax rates are currently rising at an average £2 per tonne per year, with current standard landfill tax rates sitting at £84.40 per tonne. In 2004, that was £15 per tonne so in just over a decade, landfill tax has risen by over 530%, and shows no signs of slowing.
Your operational costs will continue to rise if you don’t get strategic with your waste management.
We have the experts on hand to help your company take a strategic approach to waste management and experience all the benefits that come with it.
