In the fast-paced world of manufacturing and engineering, efficient waste management is crucial for maintaining productivity, meeting compliance standards, and minimising environmental impact. Greenzone offers industry-leading waste and recycling solutions designed to handle the complex and diverse needs of your sector. We understand that no two operations are alike. From small-scale manufacturers to large industrial engineering firms, each business has unique waste management requirements.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is designed to tackle excessive waste and the lack of infrastructure for recycling. It places the burden on businesses who produce or manufacture waste. We can work with you at all levels including in the design of your packaging with recycling in mind and can connect you to established compliance schemes if you are obligated. By acting now, you can be prepared for incoming EPR schemes.
Let us take care of your waste so you can focus on driving production and innovation.
Improve environmental performance and save cost.
A waste audit will identify your current waste streams and how they are being managed. This is the first step towards environmental responsibility and cost efficiency. Regular audits provide opportunities for reuse, recovery and recycling of materials. As a broker we can identify the change needed and match the most effective and efficient solution to your needs identified from a waste audit.
Waste is highly regulated.
Even the definition of “waste” is complicated! What is simple is that anyone whose activity produces waste should regard themselves as a waste producer with legal obligations in respect of that waste. In line with our value to keep things simple: we’ll ensure you are compliant. We have a compliance team, and you can access compliance documents anytime via your Customerzone.
We will work with you to support Lean Manufacturing and process optimisation to reduce waste, by implementing efficient waste segregation and closed loop recycling. Landfill diversion is now expected and standard. We will recover value from waste including energy recovery methods, by-product utilisation and composting of organic waste. We partner with innovators and ensure compliance to eliminate the risk of penalties and costly remediation.
As the name suggests, hazardous waste is subject to greater regulatory requirements.
This waste can present a risk of harm it needs careful handling. To keep it simple, we can arrange the safe and lawful treatment of your hazardous waste – let us manage that risk for you.

Manufacturers can integrate sustainable waste management practices by working with Greenzone to identify waste reduction opportunities, implementing recycling programs, educating employees on waste segregation and recycling, and adopting circular economy principles.
The waste hierarchy is a framework that prioritises waste management practices based on their environmental impact. It consists of five levels: prevention, minimisation, reuse, recycling, and disposal. In manufacturing, this means first aiming to prevent waste generation, then minimising waste, reusing materials whenever possible, recycling what cannot be reused, and disposing of waste responsibly as a last resort. Implementing the waste hierarchy helps manufacturers reduce waste and improve sustainability.
