Waste

60 photos

The captions give the EER code: 20 01 08 is organic waste; 20 03 07 is bulky waste; 19 05 01 the non-composted fraction of municipal and similar wastes; 19 05 03 is off-specification compost, for example the wet fraction of MBT plants stabilised in biocells; 19 12 12 other wastes (including mixtures of materials) from mechanical treatment of wastes other than those mentioned in 19 12 11; 19 12 10 combustible waste (refuse-derived fuel); 19 12 04 plastic and rubber, here mostly 2D; 19 12 08 and 04 02 22 textile scrap. You will also find heaps of mixed waste, fabric and end-of-life tyres (16 01 03). Photos marked as illustrative show the type of waste and do not come from our own jobs. See some of the EER codes we handle.

Machinery and plants

21 photos

A walking-floor semi-trailer unloading, plants where waste is treated and sorted, and landfills, where whatever cannot be recycled or reused ends up. There is also the inside of a waste-to-energy plant, where waste is turned into electricity and heat: this is energy recovery, operation R1. Read how recovery and disposal work.

Ports and ships

10 photos

Bales in port and on ships: on full ships of 3,000 to 5,500 tonnes or in containers. The bales are film-wrapped in low-density polyethylene (LDPE): they stay compact and clean and lose no material on the ship or into the sea.

Clearances

15 photos

Before, during and after: we sort the materials on site and leave the premises empty.

Inert waste, wood and iron

5 photos

Inert waste (roof tiles, bricks, ceramics and concrete), wood, metal and iron. These materials are also part of our work: you will find them in the list of materials.
