Compliant waste management for Oxford's university, biomedical, and automotive sectors with specialist WEEE recycling and hazardous waste handling.
One specialist partner for WEEE, batteries, lamps, solar panels and hazardous waste, with in-house treatment and full Duty of Care paperwork.
Oxford's economy revolves around the University of Oxford's vast research operations, a world-class biomedical cluster, and BMW Mini's major manufacturing facility at Cowley. The university's hundreds of laboratories across the Radcliffe Science Area, Old Road Campus, and Begbroke Science Park generate highly regulated hazardous waste from chemistry, engineering, and life sciences research. Specialist WEEE from mass spectrometers, electron microscopes, and analytical instruments requires authorised treatment through our licensed AATF facility.
The Oxford biomedical campus and life sciences cluster around Headington add pharmaceutical manufacturing waste, clinical trial materials, and laboratory WEEE. Oxford Biomedica, Evotec, and dozens of spinout companies create ongoing disposal requirements. BMW Mini's Cowley plant generates manufacturing WEEE from robotic production lines, plus hazardous waste from paint, coating, and surface treatment processes.
The Harwell Science and Innovation Campus nearby houses Diamond Light Source, the UK Space Agency, and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, creating some of the UK's most technically demanding IT disposal and battery recycling requirements from supercomputing, particle physics, and space technology operations.
Growing solar installations on commercial buildings and commercial lighting recycling from the city's colleges, hotels, and conference venues add further specialist streams. For compliance guidance, see our duty of care guide.
We also serve businesses across Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, and High Wycombe.
