Recycling Services
Recycling is a core activity within our business. We offer an increasing range of recycling capability throughout the UK for domestic, commercial, industrial and public sector customers. We can recycle cardboard, paper, glass, wood, plasterboard, plastic, metals, inert materials, aluminium as well as mixed and confidential waste from offices and industrial sites.
We recognise that legislation affects every sector and every organisation differently. That means many of our customers have diverse recycling and disposal requirements. At Oran ES we not only recognise and appreciate those differences, we have the capability and the experience to develop tailored solutions, no matter how complex or simple your needs might be.
Oran Environmental Solutions is committed to promoting recycling and raising environmental awareness within the home, workplace and school. This simple recycling guide explains the basics of recycling - interesting waste facts, why it makes sense to recycle, easy steps to get you started, and the meanings behind recycling symbols currently used on UK packaging.

Recycling is an excellent way of reducing costs, saving energy and conserving the enviroment.
Reduce Costs
The cost of land-filling 1 tonne of waste is currently between £60 and £70 per tonne and is set to rise significantly in coming years. Recycling diverts waste from landfill dramatically reducing costs. Recycling enables businesses to retrieve value from waste materials. The current value of cardboards and plastics provide real opportunities for companies to turn a cost into a revenue.
Environmental Factors
Landfill is a major source of Methane gas which is 20 times more damaging to the environment than Carbon Dioxide. We can save energy by using recycled products in the production of new materials such as cardboard, glass and plastic. This process is much less energy intensive than the use of virgin raw materials. Recycling protects the environment by reducing our dependence on natural resources.
Corporate Responsibility
It is no longer an option for businesses to ignore their environmental responsibilities. Improving eco-credentials can certainly benefit the profile of corporate and consumer brands, but increasing pressure from stakeholders and government legislation along with rapidly rising costs means there has never been a better time to look at how your business manages its environmental processes.
