Wincanton have developed a broad range of high quality services tailored to meet the waste, recycling and recovery needs of many businesses.

They have a wide portfolio of solutions for all types and sizes of business including state of the art recycling facilities for all waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), packaging waste solutions, total waste management services and asset management capabilities.

Wincaton recycling is part of the mush bogger picture of rapidly increasing recycling capability throughout the UK.

Recycling is the process by which discarded materials are collected and used as raw materials for new products. This prevents potentially useful materials from being landfilled or incinerated.

Recycling is ultimately a very creative act that involves thought and dedication to extend the life and usefulness of something that seems to have no more purpose once it has been used for its initial purpose. Common objects that are often used only once are plastic containers, glass bottles, and newspapers, but as this website will show, most, if not all things can be recycled somehow, and it is only our perception of our lifestyles and the ease of disposal that prevents all of us using the creative and technical abilities available to recycle everything we dispose of.

Recycling is also a teamwork project; if every family takes this job seriously, our Earth and our neighborhoods will benefit. Here are a couple of simple ways to start your children thinking about recycling.

it is not though a panacea for our environmental problems, nor should it be pursued to the point of diminished returns or at any cost. A full appraisal of the environmental and economic benefits and costs of recycling, in comparison with the one-way consumption and disposal of used products and packaging, is essential to define the appropriate role for recycling. Nevertheless, recycling is close to the hearts of people. It reduces alienation and builds daily habits, which lead to character and values, just as Aristotle described.

Valpak, like Wincanton are leading recyclers and they aim to provide a flexible service to their customers and will endeavour to provide time to meet all customer care requirements. However, to be most effective, materials recapture must be planned for in advance as part of the design of products and processes. This implies many changes in the ways that materials are managed, virtually none of which play any role in today’s recycling methods but all of which require advance planning for recovery such as extensive labeling.

Environmentalists call this “closing the loop”. It means finishing the recycling you started and buying back the products made from recycled materials. Environmentalists are against any solution that will involve incineration. Technologists point out that many of the recycling solutions like recovering liquid fuels from waste plastic, yield less in energy terms than what was put into the process. Environmentalists and the rate paying public are bemoaning the sudden recycling slow-down as a definitive lapse in China’s global environmental responsibility, as reported in the Wasters Waste Management Blog.
