Experts in hazardous waste services including classification, permitting, collection & disposal - ensuring full legal compliance, environmental safety, and cost-effective waste management solutions.
Hazardous Waste Management
Proper management of hazardous waste is not just essential for environmental safety - it's a legal requirement with serious consequences for non-compliance. In the UK, holding, producing, or disposing of hazardous waste without the correct licensing can result in fines of up to £5,000 on the spot. Larger breaches have led to penalties exceeding £1,000,000 and even prison sentences for company directors.
GPT offer a full suite of hazardous waste services tailored to your legal obligations, site requirements, and budget.
Our in-depth understanding of classification and our strong relationships with treatment and transfer facilities mean we can offer low-cost, compliant disposal solutions that improve both environmental outcomes and your bottom line.
Our experienced environmental consultants can assist with permit applications and regulatory compliance across the UK. Requirements vary by region - for instance, in Wales, if you produce hazardous waste you must register with Natural Resources Wales (NRW). We’ll guide you through these requirements to ensure you stay compliant.
Accurate classification is a cornerstone of hazardous waste compliance. Misclassification not only risks legal penalties but could also lead to unnecessary disposal costs.
We specialise in identifying and classifying waste correctly to meet all legal obligations and reduce disposal expenses. In many cases, we’ve saved clients money by reclassifying materials appropriately and by identifying better suited, more cost-effective disposal routes.
