Retail Sector

Reduce costs, improve compliance, and boost sustainability in retail operations

Retailers generate a wide range of waste — from packaging and damaged stock to food waste, WEEE, and confidential materials. Multiple suppliers, changing stock levels, and seasonal peaks can make managing waste streams complex and costly.

At Waste Consult, we help retail businesses optimise waste and utility management through independent, impartial consultancy. We don’t sell waste collection or energy supply; we review your systems, identify savings, and ensure you meet all UK compliance requirements, including Simpler Recycling and Duty of Care.

Services for Retail Include:

• Full waste audits covering packaging, food waste, and recycling streams.
   
• Hazardous waste guidance for cleaning products, batteries, and e-waste.
   
• Confidential waste disposal and shredding compliance.
   
• Supplier contract reviews and competitive tender support.
   
• Multi-site utility audits for electricity, gas, and water.
   
• Sustainable waste strategies aligned with corporate ESG goals.
   

We understand retail’s fast pace and seasonal challenges, so our solutions are flexible, scalable, and tailored to your operations. By removing supplier bias, we ensure your contracts, processes, and compliance are always optimised for value and sustainability.
