Hazardous Waste Producer Licensing

Hazardous waste management is an increasingly important element of the waste disposal package as more waste types are designated hazardous as per the ‘Hazardous Waste Regulations 2005’.

All hazardous waste producers producing over 200kg per annum must register with the ‘Environment Agency’ to allow hazardous waste to be removed from site. Once registered, the ‘Environment Agency’ issue the producer with a reference number that is required for each consignment of waste removed from site.

If an organization has more than one premises that produces hazardous waste, each premises must be registered. Contractors are unable to collect hazardous waste from these premises without the registration number.

TWMS can register your company as a ‘Hazardous Waste Producer’ on your behalf. A simple call to our technical team and your registration is complete.
Bespoke disposal routes need to be identified for specific waste types and TWMS has established a full nationwide disposal service for all hazardous waste streams.

Poor Recycling Threat to UK

WEEE industry sources have warned that poor recycling practices of WEEE materials currently taking place in Germany are in danger of being replicated in the UK.

Although German recycling levels are held up as one of the best in Europe, a recent report in German Capital magazine reported that while “in Austria, recyclers succeed in extracting 91% of the CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) from old appliances in an environmentally friendly way, and disposing of these substances without any emission to the atmosphere, the rate in Germany is a
mere 42%.”
