This year’s data provides greater visibility of Garland UK’s waste streams and continues to inform ongoing efforts to minimise waste generation and support circular economy principles.
Garland UK maintained its partnership with Grundon’s Energy from Waste (EfW) scheme, ensuring 100% of waste is diverted from landfill. Recyclable materials are first separated and recovered, while non-recyclable waste is converted into electricity for the National Grid.

In 2024, monthly waste data was provided by Grundon, based on actual collections. Waste volumes fluctuated due to specific operational activities: February 2024: Recyclable waste increased due to clearing old warehouse racking, which included metal materials. October 2024: Non-recyclable waste peaked as a result of a one- off warehouse clearance, disposing of old, faulty, or poor-quality stock.
