The Commercial Breakthrough?

摘要

Commercial and industrial (C&l) waste is generated from a wide variety of business sources, from factories and industrial plants to wholesalers, shops and offices. Defra statistics show that 48m tonnes of C&l waste was generated in England in 2009, 23 percent of which was sent to landfill. Not only does this mean that potentially valuable resources are being disregarded as waste, but also that extra costs are being incurred as landfill tax continues to increase. The composition of C&l waste can vary significantly depending on the type of business in a given catchment area. Where the collection is from predominantly industrial premises, it will contain not only general office waste but also high levels of wood and plastics. Commercial premises, such as wholesalers, catering establishments, shops and offices, are likely to include higher levels of paper, cardboard, glass and organic materials.
