Transfrontier Shipments of Waste

Transfrontier Shipments (TFS) of combustible waste allows your waste to be diverted from landfill and sent for reuse and recovery at suitable facilities abroad.

We are one of a small number of companies in the UK who can offer transfrontier shipments of waste.  Using waste as a source of fuel helps to reduce environmental impact.  Through energy recovery from waste (EfW), hazardous waste which may otherwise have been disposed by other means or for which limited capacity exists of in the UK, can be exported and utilised as an alternative to fossil fuels.  RED Industries is committed to providing sustainable solutions and we are pleased to be able to offer this service to our customers.

We transfer hazardous waste, including flammable solids and sludge, to a number of robustly audited EfW plants in Europe from our Treatment and Transfer Centres in Stoke-on-Trent and Brownhills. We are able to store, aggregate, and bulk transfer particular wastes for TFS, including isocyanates, flammable solids, contaminated packaging, resins and adhesives and are able to explore bespoke waste streams on request.

Our team of technical experts can assess your waste, conduct testing at our on-site laboratory facility, and provide all the necessary paperwork. We manage the environmental requirements, including completion of the Transfrontier Shipment of Waste Notifications, to make sure the process is straight forward for our customers. Our legally compliant operations provide you with peace of mind that your waste is being handled and managed compliantly and correctly.
