Manufacturing and logistics operations face significant pressure to manage large volumes of waste in an efficient, cost-effective and compliant manner. The constant need for operational efficiency, coupled with stringent environmental regulations and rising sustainability expectations, makes waste management a critical focus. In addition, managing hazardous materials, reducing production waste and maintaining safe working environments adds further complexity. Evolve Waste Solutions helps manufacturers and distribution centres optimise their waste management processes, ensuring compliance, reducing costs and improving sustainability performance that supports long-term operational goals.
Waste Types
Manufacturing facilities, distribution centres and warehouses generate general waste, including non-recyclable materials, damaged products and packaging waste. General waste compactors or bins are used to manage these materials.
Mixed recyclable materials such as cardboard, plastics, metals and paper generated from packaging and shipping operations should be collected via a DMR service to ensure they are recycled.
Manufacturing and shipping businesses dealing with sensitive information such as proprietary designs or client data, should have a confidential waste service for secure disposal.
In cases where manufacturing sites have on-site cafeterias, a food waste collection service ensures that this organic waste is recycled.
Factories and logistics operations often produce hazardous waste such as chemicals, solvents and by-products from the manufacturing process. A hazardous waste service is crucial for safe disposal and regulatory compliance.
Wooden pallets and crates that are no longer usable should be collected for recycling or reuse.
For facilities working with metals, a dedicated metal recycling service is essential to manage scrap metal and other metal waste.
