AccessibilitySustainable Recycling Management
Trust in Q3 and be SuRe your waste streams are managed safely, efficiently and compliantly
Typically, in the commercial world, decisions about waste disposal focus on how much waste you can get rid of at least cost which is coming at then problem from the wrong end. Understanding how and why you are creating the waste and realising ways you can avoid it, makes much more sense. Adopt waste hierarchy strategies to reduce, reuse, recycle BEFORE you opt to remove.
At Q3 we are experts in recycling and environmental sustainability, able to advise your organisation on ways to manage your waste streams, ensuring you are both legally compliant and treating waste as a potential resource.
At Q3, we call our approach Sustainable Recycling Management, or SuRe for short.
Why should you be SuRe?
Sustainability is featuring in the corporate business agenda as never before. The UK Government has placed sustainability as a central pillar of the plan for economic recovery, post-Covid pandemic. And the pressure is being increased on all businesses to think responsibly and act accordingly. Q3’s Sustainable Recycling Management solution can be your roadmap to a sustainable future.
Our team comprises many diverse experts, with years of experience and a deep understanding of this highly regulated business. We apply best practice and invest in people who really understand this market. So, there are very few things we don’t know how to tackle in this complex area.
We’ll help you achieve Zero waste to landfill and statutory compliance. We’ll apply our imagination to deliver novel recycling ideas to provide new life for otherwise discarded waste materials. We’ll access rebates on your behalf and deliver cost-savings through the implementation of sustainability strategies. And we’ll help you achieve a position where you can be proud of your Corporate Social Responsibility credentials.
How can you be SuRe?
Our approach is consultative but at the same time, we operate in a totally hands-on way. We apply our specialist knowledge and experience to resolve your specific waste problems. We don’t own any specialist plant, equipment or landfill facilities and because we are not wedded to any one technology or supplier, we can think and operate impartially.
We’ll propose a bespoke solution that could involve multiple suppliers, knowing that it may not be the easiest option – but because it’s the best, most effective and cost-efficient solution for your organisation. And, we have a unique approach to supply-chain management, backed by a network of specialists to help deliver that solution.
Our process is simple and it works:
- We evaluate your waste stream challenges
- We apply a reduce-reuse-recycle methodology to solving the problems
- We build a supply-chain solution and manage it to the finest detail
- We’re already delivering SuRe nationally for a range of important clients across numerous sectors including automotive, manufacturing and public sector
We are also experts in the management of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and adhere to regulations and guidelines set forth by government agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and international bodies such as the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants.
Q3 has the ability to audit, identify and segregate materials that contain POPs from other waste streams, ensure it is stored correctly and safely to avoid leaks or spills and have the know-how to treat and dispose of POPs-containing waste in an environmentally sound manner. So your organisation stays compliant and your waste does not become someone else’s problem.
Often, our approach may involve closed loop recycling where waste products are recycled to produce something new and valuable. Here are a few examples of the kinds of projects we manage:
- Reject automotive bumpers reworked
- Roof tiles converted to buckets
- Aluminium double glazing
- Low-grade plastic from spray booths transformed into bollards
- Desk and pallet recycling
