We live in a wasteful society
where everything seemingly has become a disposable item
and where the resources of our planet are dwindling at
an alarming rate. Over the last 10-20 years governments
across the world are waking up to the facts and every
year new legislation comes into force to encourage us
to re-use or recycle instead of throwing away in an attempt
to reduce the amount of resources we need to dig up and
the amount of waste we have to put back into this Earth
of ours.
Not all of this legislation impacts on the plastics
industry and on plastics being used but as manufacturers
have sought to replace traditional materials such as wood
and metal with plastics for the products that they produce,
this impact becomes greater all the time.
The main legislative directives effecting companies, which the CK Group are
able to provide assistance with are:-
|
Packaging
and Packaging Waste Directive - aims
to prevent the impact of packaging and packaging
waste on the environment and to introduce recovery
and recycling targets for packaging waste.
Is your business obligated under this directive?
|
End
of Life Vehicle Directive (ELV) - aims
to make vehicles more recyclable to increase in
future the recycling rate for vehicles that come
to the end of their useful life.
|
Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE)
- aims to encourage the recycling of electrical
and electronic equipment and to reduce the amount
of harmful chemical often present in these devices
from going to landfill.
|
Landfill
Tax - the landfill tax forms part of
the landfill directive and is targeted mainly at
reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill by
UK businesses and thus encourage recycling or re-use.
