Recycling – Endless Possibilities?

In April 2025, the government is updating the regulations on how waste can be recycled. These changes include the compulsory introduction of recycling food waste, the separation of paper and cardboard from other recycling and general waste.

In response, ASCO has changed how we handle waste. We want you to research and report on the how much these changes costed and how effective they were.

ASCO are a major contributor within the energy sector with over 50 years’ experience in the industry. One of ASCOs key service offerings is our Environmental business which manages a variety of waste from offshore and onshore sites.

To do this you will

You will research how these changes were achieved, calculate the approximate costs of implementing these changes, understand the effectiveness of this new scheme, and feedback whether this is continued going forward by both ASCO and their clients.

With the support of the Southern UK team and UK compliance advisor, you will learn about previous processes, how these were changed to comply with regulations and the impact that these changes will have going forward.

We would also like to understand the impact this will have on the environment, as this is a national campaign by the environment agency and government.
