The Waste Hierarchy

Keeping Your Waste Out of Landfill

UK environmental law ranks waste management from most preferable to least. Our service ensures 100% of your washroom waste is diverted from landfill — the worst outcome on the hierarchy.

The Difference

Landfill vs Energy Recovery

Your washroom waste should never end up in the ground. Here is the difference our service makes.

Landfill

  • Waste is buried in the ground
  • Generates methane, a potent greenhouse gas
  • The worst outcome on the waste hierarchy
  • No value recovered from the waste
  • Where untreated washroom waste often ends up

What our service diverts you from.

Energy Recovery

  • Waste converted into Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF)
  • SRF displaces fossil fuels in energy generation
  • 100% of collected waste diverted from landfill
  • Processed locally in Derby — low transport footprint
  • Fully documented for your ESG reporting

How Hygiene Solutions processes your waste.

Our Process

How Our Zero-to-Landfill Process Works

From collection to ESG reporting — a transparent, auditable process with full documentation at every stage.

1

Collection

Our DBS-checked drivers, who carry photo ID, collect from your premises on a fixed schedule. Every collection is logged with proof of service.

2

Transport

A short, local journey to our processing partner Go 4 Greener in Derby — minimal transport footprint compared to national providers routing waste across the country.

3

Processing

Go 4 Greener's Advetec biotechnology removes 50–70% of moisture, then compresses the dried material into Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) blocks used in cement-works kilns in place of coal. 100% diverted from landfill.

4

You receive ESG-ready documentation for your sustainability reports — duty of care waste transfer notes, eco impact data, and CO2 savings.

FAQs

Zero-to-Landfill: Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our zero-to-landfill washroom services, the waste hierarchy, and ESG reporting.

The waste hierarchy is a legally defined framework under UK environmental law that ranks waste management methods from most preferable to least preferable. The five levels, from best to worst, are: prevention, reuse, recycling, recovery (including energy from waste/incineration), and landfill. Organisations are required to move their waste as far up the hierarchy as possible.
Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) is a fuel produced from waste that would otherwise go to landfill. At Go 4 Greener in Derby, collected washroom waste is processed using Advetec biotechnology and converted into SRF, which is used for energy recovery in place of fossil fuels. This diverts 100% of your washroom waste from landfill.
Zero-to-landfill washroom services directly support your Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) targets in three ways: measurable diversion of 100% of washroom waste from landfill, waste tonnage and diversion metrics for sustainability reporting, and full compliance documentation including duty of care waste transfer notes and eco impact reports for board-level reporting.
