Bywaters Recycling and Recovery Facility Bow Really sounds correct

Ever since the Waste Strategy Unit's last report, "Waste not, want not" was made public on twenty-seven Nov 2002, the United Kingdom has been accelerating recycling rates and pushing at really serious targets which will significantly cut back the tonnages of waste to dump. Landfills which were filling at an ever increasing rate were threatening to cover the land and rise above it, finally filling every quarry and patch of waste land in our built up areas and then devouring huge acreages of farmland as well.

Over the same period public willingness to recycle in their homes has risen inspired by separate waste collections which have progressively been introduced by local authorities and which have extended the quantity and range of source separated and comingled Municipal Solid Waste diverted away from landfill.

For some time costs of engineered landfills have been rising and rules have been getting tighter.

In the background, the Environment Agency has in addition been raising the green regulation standards obligatory to of the landfill operators which has at the same time raised their expenditure which have been transferred never-endingly to the landfill users.

Over the identical period community enthusiasm to recycle in their homes has also risen encouraged by separate waste collections which have progressively been introduced in local authorities as well as which have expanded the number and breadth of source separated and co-mingled Municipal Solid Waste diverted away from landfill.

At some point it was all about to make both environmental AND commercial sense to recycle, but many worried whether the industry ever quite get there before the political will to do so was lost.

For a long while the industry pundits have talked of the necessity to reach a unproven "tipping point" at which as the dump tax elevator rises, and the mixture of lots of other smaller regulatory effects come together, and how they are going to push the cost of landfilling above the cost of recycling. The rate of landfill tax for rubbish heap active waste has increased by £8/tonne per annum from 1st April 2008 and will continue to increase by £8/tonne on 1st April each year year to 2013.

The UK presidency financed WRAP organisation which researches and promotes recycling waste diversion has made public rates for current waste treatment technologies generally in the range of £45 to £65/tonne, so it would appear that UK landfill charges are now just reaching the tipping point.

That all this was eventually adding up to profitable cost competitive recycling is being confirmed by the number 1 waste recycling corporations in the commercial and economic waste sector.

All this adds up to a family run business like Bywaters, with its friendly and eager workers at plants like the Recycling and Recovery Facility at Bow, and for so long devoted to sustainable business, to now also reap the industrial benefits they deserve for themselves and their clients.

As I found in a recent trip to the Bywaters Bow Recycling Plant, staff work extremely closely with the waste producing companies from which they accept their waste, such that quite soon after even the least "environmentally aware" organisations come aboard, they are able to up their game and massively improve the purity of their client's source segregation systems within just a few short months

This is a win-win situation because not only is the residual waste quantity reduced for the customer, but the value of the purer recycled (source segregated) material reduces the processing cost at the Bywaters' faciility.

These recycling corporations are now well placed to resume to raise recycling rates as a percentage of total waste produced, gratifying public demand, and to work in partnership with their clients to further invest in making improvements to the potency of the their recycling processes. These enhancements also helped by their clients will continue to push down costs, and are already providing higher quality recycled raw materials, of a consistency, quantity, and quality which could never have been imagined just seven years ago when "Waste not, want not" was published.

The future will see reliable and "main stream" bulk availability of quality controlled recycled products.

The positive feedback which will result will further stabilize and raise the markets in recycled commodities and the volatility in these markets will in turn moderate to become unremarkable.

So, for any companies that are still not recycling their waste we say:

"Be "green" and recycle - it just makes sense like never before.".
