Wholesale and retail firms produce most waste, claims survey

17 January 2007
 
New figures reveal Scottish businesses produce around 9Mt of waste annually, with the wholesale and retail sector the worst offenders.
A survey commissioned by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) found more than two-thirds of waste produced by business came from commerce, and less than one-third from industry.
The wholesale and retail trade produced the most waste, followed by the hotel and restaurant sector. The survey questioned commercial and industrial waste producers on their waste-management practices in 2004.
Only half of companies surveyed knew how all their waste was managed, while three-quarters of respondents said their waste could be recycled but was not.
