SITA UK recycles two million tonnes of material every year.
To meet ever increasing recycling demands, SITA UK established a network of locations for the sorting and baling of recycled materials, such as paper and plastic. Some processing locations also offer our secure data destruction service. In addition to this dedicated service provision, we are looking to expand our processing capability across our network of sorting stations.
Ensuring the provision of secure long term outlets for recycled material generated by SITA UK is a priority to us. However, there is growing recognition that there is not sufficient reprocessing capacity in the UK to meet anticipated demand. As this is a problem for mainland Europe as well, SITA UK has established an international trading arm to support the home market.
We are also working with the local ReMade programmes, DEFRA and the DTI to stimulate the domestic market and certain commodities, such as glass, have already benefited. The recent large scale use of glass in road manufacture has provided tremendous stimulation to collections and SITA UK is actively involved in supplying glass to this market.
