Which Sectors and Organisations Does New Waste Solutions Work With?

New Waste Solutions works with any UK organisation that produces chemical or hazardous waste, and its stated sectors include schools, universities and colleges, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, industrial laboratories, emergency services, and the public sector. If your organisation generates lab smalls, industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, paints, aerosols, sharps, medical waste or similar materials, you fall within the customer groups the company describes. The practical test is not your industry label but whether you hold chemical waste that needs identifying, sorting, packing, transporting and disposing of.

Sectors named by New Waste Solutions

The company lists the following sectors on its website:

• Schools
• Universities and colleges
• Hospitals
• Pharmaceutical companies
• Industrial laboratories
• Emergency services
• The public sector

It summarises this as working with "schools, universities and colleges, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, industrial laboratories, emergency services and more," so the list is illustrative rather than exhaustive.

What these sectors have in common

Every organisation above generates chemical waste as a by-product of its normal work. New Waste Solutions frames its role around that waste stream rather than around a single industry: it identifies, sorts, packs, transports and disposes of chemical waste, and its team is described as chemists with laboratory, industrial and forensic chemistry experience.

That matters for deciding whether you fit. A school science department with expired reagents, a hospital with pharmaceutical and sharps waste, and an industrial lab with process chemicals are all described as the same kind of customer.

Waste types handled

The services page states that New Waste Solutions handles "lab smalls, industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, paints, aerosols, scene of crime chemicals, sharps, medical waste and more."

How to judge whether your organisation qualifies

Work through these questions:

1. Do you produce chemical or hazardous waste? If yes, you are in the customer group the company describes.
2. Is the waste within the listed types? Lab smalls, industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals, paints, aerosols, sharps, medical waste and scene of crime chemicals are all named.
3. Are you in the UK? The company states its chemical waste fleet operates across the United Kingdom, with a Northern Office and a Southern Office.
4. Do you need identification and packing as well as collection? The company describes identifying, sorting and packing waste, not just hauling it away.

If you answer yes to the first three, the company's own framing suggests you are a fit. If you are unsure about a specific material, the site invites you to phone and speak to its chemists directly.

Where the company draws its boundary

New Waste Solutions describes its mission as preventing, reducing, re-using, recycling or recovering chemical waste wherever possible, with disposal as a last resort. It also states it is opening what it describes as the first UK facility dedicated to the recovery of lab smalls chemical waste.

That positioning is relevant if your organisation has sustainability or compliance targets: the service is presented as recovery-led rather than purely disposal-led, and the company states it will keep you and your organisation compliant with relevant waste legislation.

What the site does not specify

The website does not publish pricing, minimum collection volumes, contract terms, or a definitive list of excluded materials. It also does not state whether it serves households or only organisations. If your situation sits outside the named sectors, or you need commercial terms before deciding, contact the Northern Office on +44 (0) 1246 690 013 or the Southern Office on +44 (0) 1227 280 777.
