A lighter waste budget
Every tonne diverted from disposal mechanically reduces the overall cost of managing your waste.
Recycling services
Recycling & materials recovery
Taking your materials out of the waste equation
Part of what you pay to dispose of still has a market value. Cardboard, plastic film, metals, wood and pallets are secondary raw materials — provided they are cleanly segregated and gathered in sufficient quantity.
GreenMar organises that shift: we prepare your recoverable streams and direct them to recycling routes, keeping disposal for the waste that genuinely cannot be recovered.
Less landfill, more material back in use
Recycling is not only a sustainability argument: it is a budget line that changes sign. A clean, consolidated stream leaves the logic of disposal cost and enters that of recoverable material.
What it changes for you
Sustainability figures you can use
Recovery rate and tonnages recycled: figures you can put in your reports and in answers to your clients.
A concrete environmental step
Putting material back into the economy reduces resource extraction and your site’s footprint — without the rhetoric.
Segregation that stays workable
Labelled containers, legible instructions and few extra steps: recovery only holds if it is realistic for your operators.
What we put in place
- Identifying which of your current waste streams can be recovered
- A segregation plan and dedicated containers by material
- Gathering and consolidating streams to reach the thresholds recycling routes require
- Directing cardboard, plastics, metals, wood and pallets to recycling routes
- Recovery or controlled disposal of non-recyclable streams
- Briefing your teams on segregation instructions
- Tracking of recovered tonnages and your site’s recovery rate
Typical situations
Expensive general waste
Most waste leaves as a mixed stream. Our answer: separate the clean cardboard and plastics, which usually account for the largest share of the volume.
Scattered metal offcuts
Offcuts mixed in with other workshop waste. Our answer: dedicated containers at the workstation and consolidation for materials recovery.
Pallets and wood piling up
Broken pallets accumulating outside. Our answer: regular collections and a wood recovery route rather than disposal.
A recovery rate target
A figure has been set by the parent company. Our answer: measure the baseline, strengthen the segregation plan and report on the indicator regularly.
Method
From skip to raw material
-
Identifying the streams
Analysing what your current waste is made of, to find what goes to disposal when it could be recycled.
-
Segregation at source
Dedicated containers, legible instructions and collection points as close as possible to the workstations.
-
Consolidation
Gathering materials up to the quantities that make a recycling route accessible and worthwhile.
-
Recovery and reporting
Directing streams to recycling routes and reporting the tonnages recovered.
Frequently asked questions
Recycling : vos questions
Which materials can you recycle?
The main recoverable industrial streams: cardboard and paper, plastic film and packaging, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, wood and pallets, and some uncontaminated textiles. The exact list depends on the segregation quality achieved on your site.
Does segregation at source have to happen for this to pay?
Yes. A mixed stream loses most of its value and rejoins the disposal route. That is why we always start with the segregation plan and dedicated containers before talking about recovery.
What happens to waste that cannot be recycled?
It is handled under our waste management service and directed to a disposal route suited to its nature, with the corresponding documentation.
Can you measure our recovery rate?
Yes. Once streams are separated and collections tracked, we consolidate tonnages by material, which allows your site’s recovery rate to be calculated and followed over time.
