Waste & Environmental Services

We’re changing the conversation about waste management. From throwaway culture to circular economy.

With our resource-not-waste philosophy, we’re not driven to empty more bins or dispose of more waste. We want to eliminate it before it’s even created. With Mitie, you can reduce waste creation, reduce carbon emissions, and reduce costs.

Helping the planet, one waste stream at a time

We were tasked with maximising the number of resources that could be extracted from a medical organisation’s waste streams, ensuring zero waste to landfill while adhering to safe and compliant waste disposal practices.

We helped them reduce their carbon impact by cutting the amount of waste destined for landfill, and instead creating energy from waste. We developed a long-term strategy to extract reusable materials from waste streams and use them for new products.

The organisation has now achieved ‘zero to landfill’ accreditation that has been independently verified. Their on-site recycling rate now averages 41% and total recycling is 85%.
