Waste Management Made Simple

Yorkshire Enviromental Solutions Ltd

Helping make your business Simpler Recycling compliant

Since 31st March 2025, the new Simpler Recycling law has changed the way businesses in England must manage their waste. Under these new rules, all workplaces are required to sort their waste into four key streams: residual (non-recyclable) waste, food waste (which can be mixed with garden waste if appropriate), paper and card (with some flexibility), and all other dry mixed recyclables such as plastic, metal, and glass. This shift is designed to make recycling easier, more consistent, and more effective across the country.

How Your Waste Should Be Separated

To comply with the new Simpler Recycling rules, your waste should be separated into the following streams:

  • Residual (Non-Recyclable) Waste:
    Anything that can’t be recycled.
  • Food Waste:
    This can be mixed with garden waste if appropriate.
  • Paper and Card:
    With some flexibility depending on your local authority.
  • All Other Dry Mixed Recyclable Materials:
    This includes plastic, metal, and glass.

The Benefits of a Circular Economy

Proper separation ensures that recyclable materials can be processed effectively, reducing contamination and maximizing the value of recycled resources.

Embracing a circular economy model offers numerous benefits for businesses and the environment. In a circular economy, resources are kept in use for as long as possible, extracting the maximum value from them whilst in use, then recovered and regenerated at the end of each service life. This approach reduces waste, minimizes the need for new resources, and promotes sustainability.

Benefits of a circular economy include:

  • Residual (Non-Recyclable) Waste:
    This includes items that cannot be recycled, such as certain types of plastic, soiled materials, and other non-recyclable items.ssess your current waste streams and identify areas for improvement
  • Food Waste:
    All food waste, including scraps, leftovers, and spoiled food. This can be mixed with garden waste where appropriate.
  • Paper and Card:
    All paper and cardboard materials, including newspapers, magazines, cardboard boxes, and paper packaging.
  • All Other Dry Mixed Recyclable Materials:
    This includes plastic containers, metal cans, glass bottles, and other recyclable packaging.

By adopting circular economy principles, businesses can drive innovation, reduce costs, and contribute to a healthier planet.
