Smoke bellowing from an industrial site.

Manufacturing and production facilities generate a wide range of waste—from packaging and scrap materials to oils, metals, and general waste.


Without a structured approach, costs rise, storage areas overflow, and compliance risks increase.


At Benji Waste, we help manufacturers and industrial businesses build reliable, compliant waste systems that reduce costs, improve efficiency, and support sustainability targets.


Why Manufacturing Waste Management Matters


Regulatory Compliance


Industrial waste must be stored, transported, and disposed of according to UK environmental regulations, including the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Businesses must ensure they use a licensed waste carrier and maintain accurate Waste Transfer Notes.


Cost Control


Poor segregation can lead to higher disposal costs. Separating recyclable materials like metals, cardboard, and plastics helps reduce landfill use and avoid rising landfill tax charges.


Sustainability Goals


Manufacturers are under growing pressure to demonstrate environmental performance. High recycling rates and reduced landfill dependency strengthen ESG and ISO 14001 credentials.


Common Waste Challenges in Manufacturing


  • Mixed materials making recycling more difficult

  • Large volumes of packaging and pallets from inbound supplies

  • Contaminated waste streams from production processes

  • Limited on-site space for multiple skips or containers

  • Rising landfill and transport costs impacting budgets
