Our Commitment To Sustainability

Sustainability is central to the way we operate at Parry & Evans. It shapes how we manage waste, support our commercial clients, and guide our long-term operational strategy.

Supporting over 1,000 businesses across the UK, we deliver practical recycling and waste management solutions that support measurable environmental and operational improvements.

As a trusted partner in commercial recycling and waste management, we support businesses in improving their sustainability by reducing environmental impact, implementing smarter waste handling, improving recycling efforts, and reducing dependency on landfills.

Our approach is practical and results-driven. We work closely with each client to deliver clear, measurable improvements in waste management, material efficiency, and sustainability. By refining waste processes and introducing more effective systems, we enable businesses to operate more responsibly, without adding complexity.

Supporting Your Sustainability Goals

No two businesses generate waste in the same way. That’s why we take a tailored approach to waste management, helping you identify inefficiencies and implement long-term solutions that deliver real value.

Our services are designed to optimise your waste processes, and include:

Conducting comprehensive waste audits to assess current streams and handling methods

Improving segregation practices to boost recycling rates and minimise contamination

Reducing general waste through better storage, handling, and compaction

Increasing material recovery, transforming waste into reusable resources

Supporting compliance with current and upcoming environmental regulations

Providing ongoing support to refine and improve performance over time

Our Case Studies

Our Approach to Sustainable Waste Management

We apply established sustainability principles in a way that is both practical and effective, ensuring long-term environmental and operational benefits.

Closed Loop Recycling

Where possible, materials are collected, processed, and returned to the manufacturing cycle as the same product.

This reduces the worldwide reliance on extracting raw materials and supports a more sustainable supply chain.

Circular Economy

We prioritise keeping materials in use for as long as possible through reuse, recycling, and recovery.

This reduces waste and the environmental impact whilst maximising the lifetime value of resources.

Waste Hierarchy

We separate and sort materials to ensure they are processed to the highest possible quality.

Our approach follows the recognised waste hierarchy of reducing waste, reusing materials, recycling efficiently, and recovering value from non-recyclable waste.

Minimising Landfill Use

We actively seek alternatives to landfill, ensuring that the majority of materials are either recycled or recovered through responsible, sustainable processes.

In cases where this is not possible, we work with other sustainable solutions, such as waste-to-energy.

The Environmental Impact of Better Recycling

Effective recycling has a significant impact on reducing environmental harm. Processing recycled materials typically requires far less energy than producing new materials from raw resources, leading to lower carbon emissions and a reduced impact on natural resources.

For businesses, this means:

A reduced environmental footprint across daily operations

Lower carbon emissions associated with waste management

Improved sustainability reporting and environmental performance

More responsible use of materials and resources

By improving how waste is managed, businesses can make meaningful progress toward achieving their environmental goals.

How We Operate Sustainably as a Business

We believe in leading by example, so the same principles we apply to our customer operations are embedded within our own business practices.

Our ongoing sustainability initiatives include:

Transitioning towards renewable energy, including on-site solar generation

Eliminating reliance on diesel generators through upgraded infrastructure

Expanding the use of electric and hybrid vehicles across our fleet

Improving energy efficiency with systems such as air source heat pumps

Protecting and enhancing material quality through covered storage solutions

We continually review our operations to identify opportunities for improvement, ensuring we reduce our environmental impact whilst increasing efficiency.

Continuous Improvement and Investment

Sustainability is not a one-time goal. It requires continuous commitment and ongoing development. We continuously invest in our facilities, technology, and processes to improve recycling performance and expand our capabilities.

This includes:

Increasing the range of materials we can process

Enhancing recovery rates across waste streams

Adapting to regulatory changes and evolving industry standards

Supporting more complex and specialised waste requirements

By staying proactive, we can ensure our customers benefit from reliable, forward-thinking solutions that evolve with their requirements.
