The law on waste is changing. We can help you embrace the new regulations, reduce the risk of unnecessary fines and make your business more sustainable in the future.

Waste (Scotland) Regulations were passed by the Scottish Parliament on
9 May 2012. This signifies a landmark step-change in the way individuals and businesses in Scotland manage their waste. The new regulations are designed to identify that waste is a valuable resource which, when treated appropriately, holds the potential to significantly boost Scotland’s economy and create green jobs.
The Waste (Scotland) Regulations 2012 require your business to take the following actions:
„ Your business must present where possible metal, plastic, glass, paper and card separately for collection from 1 January 2014.
„ Alternatively, if you are unable to separate your plastic, paper and card we can offer a co-mingled Dry Mixed Recycling (DMR) Service.
„ If you run a food business which produces over
50 kg of food waste per week, you must present it for separate collection from 1 January 2014.
„ The requirement to present food waste for separate collection will extend to all food businesses which produce over 5 kg of food waste per week from 1 January 2016.
„ Where food collections are available, it will be illegal to dispose of food into the public sewer, for example, by using a macerator.
„ If your business is located in a rural area, you are exempt from all the food waste requirements of the Regulations. However, you may still want to examine the economic benefits of food recycling.
Embracing the new regulations is just one of the many ways you can make your business more resource efficient.
In conjunction with Zero Waste Scotland, Biffa Waste Services can offer a range of advice and support to help your business make the transition to these new ways of working and take further resource efficiency measures to become even more profitable and sustainable into the future.
