Compliant waste management for Leicester's textile, space technology, and food manufacturing sectors.
One specialist partner for WEEE, batteries, lamps, solar panels and hazardous waste, with in-house treatment and full Duty of Care paperwork.
Leicester's diverse economy spans textiles and garment manufacturing, food production, space technology, and a growing creative and technology sector. The textile and fashion industry generates hazardous waste from dyeing, finishing, and chemical treatment processes, plus specialist WEEE from industrial sewing machines, cutting equipment, and production line automation.
The National Space Centre and the University of Leicester's world-renowned space research cluster create specialist WEEE from satellite testing equipment, mission control infrastructure, and research electronics. The university's chemistry and engineering laboratories add further regulated waste requiring authorised treatment.
Leicester's food manufacturing sector, one of the UK's largest, produces regulated waste from processing, cold chain operations, and refrigeration systems. Industrial batteries from food manufacturing and logistics operations add further specialist streams. IT asset disposal demand comes from the growing tech and creative sector.
The surrounding Leicestershire countryside includes growing solar installations and commercial lighting recycling from retail parks and business premises. For compliance guidance, see our duty of care guide.
We also serve businesses across Leicestershire, Nottingham, Northamptonshire, and Derbyshire.
