NEW! EPS Recycling Scheme

Why Recycle?

• It is estimated that waste disposal currently makes up 1% of a projects costs
• Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is 100% recyclable
• Around 10% of EPS used on a project will be off-cuts/waste
  • Much of this waste would go to landfill
  • EPS does not degrade naturally
• Collections can take place at same time as EPS delivery – reducing transport and emissions
• Can help customers to achieve waste recycling targets or as part of ISO 14001 accreditation

How does it work?

• Collect all of your site EPS waste and store in the recycling bags provided
  • Collected waste must be uncontaminated (see below)
• Contact Weber to arrange collection

Cost & potential savings?

• Cost = £300 (plus VAT per load)
  • A load is a maximum of 44 bags – each bag has a capacity of 1.3m3
• Based on a collection of just 20 bags you could save £500 on skip hire*
  • Cost of EPS collection = £300
  • Skip hire (x4) = £800
  • Cost saving = £500

* Based on 8 yard skip (6.1m3 capacity) at a cost of £200 per skip What waste can we collect?

• Off-cuts
• Complete boards
• Contaminated waste cannot be accepted for recycling

• Examples of contaminated waste include:
  • Material covered with dirt, soil, paint or other contaminants
  • Insulation other than EPS
  • Waste from other insulation suppliers
  • All other non-insulation waste

Please note...

• Access is required for an articulated lorry – we regret we cannot collect from sites without access for an articulated lorry
