How GSFM helps industrial manufacturers stay compliant, reduce waste, and cut costs
If your business handles multiple waste streams — from plastic and paper to WEEE, aerosols, or oily rags — staying compliant can be complicated. That’s where Simpler Recycling comes in.
At G.S. Facilities Management, we’ve developed a Simpler Recycling service designed specifically for industrial manufacturers with complex waste profiles. It’s more than just bin collections — it’s a tailored, fully managed service that brings clarity and compliance to even the messiest waste setups.
🗓️ What is Simpler Recycling?
The new Simpler Recycling legislation came into force on 31st March 2025, and it’s changing the way businesses in England manage their waste. The rules require all businesses — regardless of size — to separate key materials for recycling, including:
Paper and card
Glass
Metal
Plastic
Food waste (if produced)
This move aims to standardise recycling practices across the country, reduce contamination, and increase the amount of waste actually recycled.
🚧 The Challenge: Complex Waste, Complex Regulations
For industrial manufacturers, compliance isn’t as simple as sorting your paper from plastic. Sites often deal with:
Mixed recyclables (e.g. cardboard, plastic wrap, office paper)
Dry hazardous waste (e.g. contaminated rags, aerosols, oil filters)
General waste and food waste
WEEE and non-standard items that fall outside standard collections
The new legislation means businesses must act — but for many, managing compliance across multiple streams can feel overwhelming.
✅ The GSFM Solution: Simpler Recycling for Complex Needs
Our Simpler Recycling service helps industrial clients not just comply with the new rules, but optimise their waste management from top to bottom. We offer:
A full site waste audit to identify all waste streams
Clear segregation systems and bins that meet the new legal requirements
Specialist handling of hazardous and WEEE waste
All documentation provided to demonstrate compliance
Ongoing reporting and data insights for continuous improvement
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Every solution is tailored to your site, your team, and your priorities — whether that’s boosting recycling, hitting ESG targets, or simplifying operations.
♻️ Real-World Results
We’ve helped manufacturers across the UK achieve:
100% landfill diversion
One contract, one contact – all waste types covered
Recognised sustainability credentials
Reduced waste costs through better segregation and smarter logistics
Take Silver Cross Prams, for example — all their returned prams used to go straight to landfill. We introduced a dedicated skip, processed them through a fragger to recover recyclates, and sent residuals for RDF. The result? A fully circular solution, and a company now recognised for its commitment to sustainability.
