What are the benefits of Total Waste Management?

Total waste management allows you to increase your products’ lifecycle and reuse and recover materials where possible.

By analysing and improving your organisation’s recycling rate, our waste professionals can reduce waste management costs and create new revenue streams from business waste. We can also help you achieve your zero-to-landfill targets to contribute to your corporate social responsibility (CSR) goals.

How much does Total Waste Management cost?

Because no two companies will ever be the same, the cost of your total waste management services will ultimately depend on the size of your organisation, the type of waste you regularly produce and the scope of the Axil services you sign up for.

You can request a no-obligation FREE waste audit to better understand your waste streams and waste challenges.

How can my business achieve Zero waste to landfill status?

A landfill is essentially a receptacle for waste that can’t be recycled or incinerated. It is the most inefficient form of waste management, as rubbish can sit on a landfill and decompose for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.

“Zero to landfill” is a waste-management concept that describes the total diversion of waste away from landfills. Zero waste to landfill methods build on the practices outlined under the Waste Hierarchy, placing the most value on waste reduction and the least on waste disposal.

Does Axil manage hazardous waste?

Our hazardous waste facility in Cannock operates advanced security systems with several layers of protection and a manned team on hand 24 hours a day. These sites use impermeable clay and geotextile barriers to create a failsafe system that gives you genuine peace of mind, even with radioactive waste.

How can waste management be improved?

At Axil, our total waste management approach is based on the waste management hierarchy: reduce, reuse, recycle, recovery and disposal.

These steps outline how waste should be treated, with waste reduction having the highest priority and disposal the lowest. We recommend integrating these practices into your business to improve your waste management outcomes.

Do you have to pay for waste management?

Any business can reduce its waste output and become more efficient at recycling. But as your business grows, so too will your waste streams and waste output.

Working with a total waste management provider can help you be more efficient at managing your waste and driving out costs.
