Sector by sector, the material is different
A print works and a plastics moulding shop produce very different waste from the same square footage. We run collection formats and grades to suit the sector rather than one container size for everyone.
Below are the six sectors we collect from most often.
Why sector matters
The material you produce, the way your site is laid out and the rhythm of your production all change what a workable collection looks like. Getting those three right at the quotation stage is what stops a full container sitting on your yard for a week.
Steel fabrication & engineering
Guillotine trim, offcuts, swarf and redundant steelwork collected by skip or bulk load. Material is graded on site and prepared as furnace-ready feedstock, so your scrap revenue is not diluted by mixed arisings.
- Skip or bulk collection matched to your yard access
- Grading before processing to protect clean grades
- Shearing, baling or shredding to mill specification
- Weighbridge ticket on every load
Print, packaging & distribution
OCC, trim waste and office paper baled and uplifted on a schedule that follows your shift pattern. Keeping bales dry and free of film is what keeps the grade deliverable to a mill.
- Scheduled uplifts around production windows
- Baling support so grades stay marketable
- Separate collection for film and rigid plastic
- Transfer notes per address for multi-site operators
Plastics processing & moulding
Production scrap, reject parts and purge sorted by polymer so they return as pellet or flake feedstock instead of going to landfill.
- Polymer separation at the point of collection
- Washing and size reduction before re-pelletising
- Batch records by polymer and form
- Regular rounds for recurring production scrap
Retail & commercial premises
Back-of-house cardboard, mixed packaging and plastic film collected, sorted and routed into the right stream, with the record keeping a multi-site operation needs.
- Container sizes from 6 to 40 cubic yards
- Cardboard, film and mixed rigids handled separately
- Uplifts timed around delivery peaks
- One note per premises, one invoice per account
Construction & demolition
Structural steel, reinforcement and mixed metals recovered from sites, weighed and documented so your duty of care file stays complete.
- Site assessment before the first container
- Roll-on roll-off and enclosed skips
- Weighed tonnage and transfer documentation
- Phased collections through a project
Manufacturing & food production
Packaging, film and process waste handled with the paper trail your environmental management system needs, from transfer notes to tonnage summaries.
- Segregated streams for packaging and film
- Tonnage records suitable for diversion reporting
- Recovery route described in writing on request
- Collection windows outside production hours

Ask for a site assessment
We will look at the access, the material and the volumes, then propose a container or bulk format and a collection frequency that fits.

Numbers we can stand behind: how the operation is structured, and what a collection actually involves.
Who you are dealing with
ECO WORLDWIDE LTD is a UK-registered limited company. Collections are run by the same team that grades and processes the material, so what you are told on the phone is what happens at the gate.

Material and plant behind every collection
Twelve material types move through the same plant, in three kept-separate streams. These are the loads, the grades and the equipment.
