Difficult Waste

Waste streams can be defined as ‘difficult’ when routine methods of handling, conditioning and treatment are not suitable due to their physio-chemical properties or regulatory changes.

The management of these waste streams requires a technical approach and special consideration to support the producer in offering a suitable waste management solution.  

These waste streams could include, although not limited to:

  • Unidentified waste or mixed waste streams
  • Halogenated waste streams
  • Waste generated through emergency response or site fires
  • Chemical substances from research and development
  • Expanding foams

Our highly experienced team work collaboratively alongside our customers, in conjunction with relevant authority bodies and off-takers, to develop customised waste management services. We have the expertise to service all industries generating waste both in the UK and across our international network.
