As April 2024 approaches, businesses in Wales are gearing up for a significant change that will not only contribute to a greener environment but also align with new legislation on waste management.

The upcoming waste segregation requirements will undoubtedly impact businesses of all sizes and Greenzone is here to provide comprehensive support so your business can seamlessly transition to the new regulations. By segregating waste at its source, businesses can significantly reduce their environmental footprint, minimise landfill usage, conserve natural resources, and work towards a circular economy. Greenzone is committed to providing expert guidance to ensure your business meets the new compliance standards. We work alongside our clients & suppliers to deliver innovative waste solutions that create a safer, cleaner, and more sustainable future for all. Our commitment to sustainability, compliance, and cost-effectiveness ensures that your business thrives while reducing its ecological footprint.

Here is an overview of the fundamentals of the new legislation
