Paper & Packaging Recycling

Paper- what would we do without it….. what do we do with it when we no longer need it?

Severnside has the experience and expertise to deal with all your paper and packaging waste. To help maximise the amounts of materials recovered we have, through our Mobile Compaction fleet, innovated a service that is dedicated to providing recycling services to a wide spectrum of business, no matter what the size of your waste stream. With container sizes ranging from euro bins through to large walk-in containers and curtain side vehicles, we can provide a bespoke collection service to suit you – whether your recyclate is loose or baled. As well as our container range we also provide, where appropriate, a large and comprehensive selection of on-site processing equipment for use on our customer’s sites.

Waste paper and packaging form the largest single proportion of commercial waste streams and as such the paper industry is the UK’s largest recycler, yet almost five million tones of waste paper are still sent to landfill or incineration each year - often causing the industry to import fibre to meet its needs. Every new tonne of waste paper recycled will significantly reduce collection, transportation and disposal costs.

Landfill and incineration are disposal options that are not as cost effective as recycling, nor do they make environmental or economic sense. The difference between recycling and landfill has been further highlighted by the Landfill Tax, which imposes a set levy for every tonne of material buried. This levy is set to increase year on year.
