Smarter Segregation
New on-site waste equipment now improves segregation and pushes materials up the waste hierarchy.
Working closely with Bostik, Axil acts as an extension of the team, reducing waste, improving processes, and delivering measurable sustainability gains.
Waste Training
To strengthen this foundation, Axil also delivered its Waste Academy Course, a CIWM-accredited training programme that equips Bostik’s managers and supervisors with essential knowledge on:
- Legal compliance and hazardous waste responsibilities
- Applying the waste hierarchy effectively
- Anticipating upcoming legislation and policy changes
“I learned more about our legal responsibilities as a producer, specifically around classifying and documenting hazardous waste.”
“Very useful course, trainer was very informative and knowledgeable.”
“Very good and useful insight into waste management.”
“Very enjoyable and informative.”
