Community Waste - Recycling for Local Authorities

We process an extensive range of recoverable paper grades. These include:

• over issue newsprint
• newspapers and magazines
• mixed papers
• office papers
• cardboard

Landfill targets are as follows:

by 2010 to reduce biodegradeable municipal waste by 75% of that produced in 1995

by 2013 to reduce biodegradeable municipal waste by a further 50% (on top the original 75%) of that produced in 1995

by 2020 to reduce biodegradeable municipal waste by a further 33% (on top the original 75% and the subsequent 50%) of that produced in 1995

There is a huge benefit for recycling, in that the "UK's current recycling of household materials (including paper and card) saves between 10 -15 Million Tonnes of CO2 equivalents each year compared to the current mix of landfill and incineration with energy from recovery" source Paper Chain Fact Sheet "Recycling versus incineration" August 2006
