The waste management hierarchy
Here at IMS Transport And Recycling Solutions we work closely with Axil and the waste management hierarchy. Axil Integrated Services is one of the leaders in developing the waste management hierarchy, which is a conceptual framework that is designed to inform any waste management decision. Finding out about it made us reevaluate our relationship with waste, so we try to follow it as much as possible.
Domestic and commercial eco-friendly recycling
Whether we are clearing out a garage for a homeowner, removing a large volume of commercial rubbish or disposing of an end-of-life vehicle, every decision we make is influenced by the waste management hierarchy, and by following this we are able to achieve the incredible result of recycling up to 90% of all the waste we collect.
How the hierarchy works
In effect you can view this as an inverted six tier pyramid:
​
-
Prevention - our top priority is avoiding creating waste material in the first place
-
Reduction - this can be achieved with using fewer materials in the design and manufacturing stages
-
Reuse – can any of the materials be used in other areas of production or by someone else?
-
Recycling – will recycling be possible in whole or in part to turn the waste into another product?
-
Recovery – when recycling isn’t possible can another process recover any energy or materials?
-
Disposal – When the above steps have all been exhausted, only then can waste be deemed fit for landfill
