Recycling used tyres is difficult but necessary. All the more so as, according to statistics, nearly 300 million tonnes of this waste are dumped in the EU every year. Unfortunately, only less than 13% of it is recycled. How are we doing with tyre recycling and how do we compare to other EU countries? What is tyre recycling? Recycling...
The lack of experienced drivers capable of handling the supply chain in many industries is not a new problem. It was signalled by hauliers' organisations several years ago. At the time, attempts were made to plug the gaps by hiring drivers from across the eastern border. However, this was a temporary solution, as the problem is growing again. How will it affect (or is it already affecting) the waste industry? And what...
Successful waste management depends on several factors. One of them is the cooperation between producers and transport companies. An experienced producer should know which documents to prepare.

The demand for incineration plant materials is so high that a large part of it has to be imported from abroad. However, they can only be transported by companies with a permit for...
Do you produce waste and are looking for a company to deliver it for recycling? Or are you acting on behalf of such a producer who has commissioned you to find a waste carrier? The most common selection criterion is, of course, price. But should it be the decisive factor? It often does not go hand in hand with the quality of the service provided. What should the best waste carrier have? The waste carrier a...

That is why it is so important that companies affected by this tax already collect the necessary data. How...
