Waste Challenges Facing Dundee Businesses

Dundee's economy has transformed through its world-class life sciences sector, a thriving video games industry, and growing offshore wind operations at the Port of Dundee. The University of Dundee's research campus and the life sciences cluster generate regulated hazardous waste from drug discovery laboratories, biomedical research, and specialist WEEE from analytical instruments, imaging equipment, and research computing infrastructure.

Dundee's gaming studios, including Rockstar North's legacy operations and dozens of indie developers, create regular IT asset disposal requirements from high-performance workstations, render farms, and development infrastructure. Abertay University's gaming and technology courses add further IT disposal demand.

The Port of Dundee's growing role as an offshore wind hub generates industrial battery waste from turbine components, port infrastructure, and vessel operations. The wider Tayside manufacturing and food processing sector produces regulated waste from production processes and cold chain operations.

Under SEPA regulations, Scottish businesses face fines up to £10,000 for waste duty of care breaches, with the new EASR registration requirement from April 2026 adding further compliance obligations. For guidance, see our hazardous waste regulations guide.

We also serve businesses across Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, and Stirling.
