World renowned as the home of the Royal Navy and an international visitor destination, Portsmouth is now undergoing a major transformation, becoming a cosmopolitan business, leisure and residential waterfront location. This great waterfront city is situated within the Solent region of the South East of England which is one of the economic powerhouses of the UK. Portsmouth is transforming how it manages its waste and the long term goal is for no waste to be sent to landfill.
We provide sustainable closed loop recycling services wherever possible, and when recycling is not an option, we transform this waste into energy that is used to power homes and business. As well as using sustainable waste management options, such as source segregated recycling, there will always be general business waste, that can’t be recycled.
It is vital that businesses do everything they can to reduce waste in the first place and if you don’t know where to start with reducing waste, we can provide you with tips for reducing waste in your business.
