Business Recycling Taunton
Taunton Waste Management prides itself on its commitment to environmentally-friendly trade practices. There are numerous reasons why it is important to recycle and compost as much as possible:
It conserves raw materials — making new products out of recycled materials reduces the requirement to use up precious resources. So recycling helps shield raw materials and protect natural habitats for the future.
It saves energy — using recycled materials in the production process uses significantly less energy than that needed for creating new products from raw materials.
It helps protect the environment — recycling reduces the need for extracting (mining, quarrying and logging), refining and processing raw materials all of which create considerable air and water pollution. As recycling saves energy, in addition, it reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to tackle climate change.
Existing landfill sites are filling up fast and there is extremely small space for new ones.
It saves you money — A substantial decrease in the total amount of waste we send to landfill is required if we want to prevent the significant fines as well as the landfill taxes which are being levied by Central Government on councils that surpass their landfill allowances. Increases in your Council Tax or service reductions in other areas would be the only method of paying these penalties.

The magic of home composting
Local authorities can also use industrial composting facilities to recycle all of the aforementioned together with food waste.
Methane is a dangerous greenhouse gas that is 20 times more dangerous than carbon dioxide. But in a compost bin or industrial composting facility, the existence of air totally alters the way the waste decomposes and methane is really no longer released.
