Re-using & Recycling

Reusing and recycling hazardous waste is not only a responsible environmental practice but also a necessity for safeguarding the planet, conserving resources, and protecting human health and safety. 

Here are some changes we have made and the difference they make to the environment: 

  1. Changing from single use plastic containers in the workshop, we will save 1664kg of contaminated plastic waste per year, equating to 9,984kg of Co2 saved. 
  2. Changing to bulk ad-blue, rather than buying small containers for our own light commercial fleet, we have saved 582kg of plastic, equating to 2329kg of Co2 footprint reduction. 
  3. Using local vegetables/fruit we save 124kg of plastic food packaging per year, and 560kg of Co2 saving on the fuel to travel for purchasing the food, let alone the air miles on the food itself. 
  4. Switching to re-usable gloves in the workshop, rather than disposable PPE, for those who wish to use them, we have reduced our carbon footprint by 83kg or Co2 per year. 

It requires a concerted effort from individuals, businesses, and governments to develop and implement effective waste management strategies and promote a circular economy that minimises the generation and disposal of hazardous waste. 

Low Carbon workspace

We have recently changed to LED lighting in the office & workshops.

LED bulbs are 80% more efficient, using less electricity, they reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with electricity generation. 


LED bulbs also do not contain harmful substances like mercury found in CFL bulbs. Additionally, their long lifespan means fewer bulbs end up in landfills 


We received a Low Carbon Workspaces grant to install LED lighting, reducing our carbon footprint by 4.4 tonnes CO2e/year.

We are so happy to be ISO14001 certified again for our Environmental Management Systems, proving that UKT&P are working hard to be as environmentally friendly and sustainable as possible in 2023 & beyond!
