Storm Environmental, holder and supplier of one of the largest waste container spare parts inventories in the UK, has announced that it will be exhibiting its own line of steel galvanized and coated waste containers at the RWM exhibition, (11-13 September) in Birmingham.
The range has been developed for the collection of trade, domestic and clinical waste and recycling materials (including food waste), and marks the company’s first foray into the waste market.
“Having spent many years in the industry and seen most common problems with supplying spare parts and components, we’ve been able to address some of the main issues with existing steel containers in the market”, said Ian Powell, Director of Storm Environmental.
“As an example, we’ve introduced specific strengthening areas where the castor brackets pressing are attached to the container base - one of the weakest points for all containers. This will eliminate the damage suffered by many container bases and castor brackets when the container is driven on to the ground during the emptying cycle.”
As well as continuing to supply spare parts and components for refurbishment, the company also plans to launch more specialised products, including a range for the confidential waste management market.
Storm Environmental will be exhibiting their new range of waste containers at stand 19R19-Q18 in Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre.
Further details on Storm Environmental’s new range can be found on their website.

How will the government and DMOs address the challenges of including glass in DRS while ensuring a level playing field across the UK?
There's no easy solution to include glass in the DRS while maintaining a level playing field. Potential approaches include a phased introduction of glass, potentially with higher deposits to reflect its logistical challenges. The government and DMOs could incentivise innovation in glass packaging design and subsidise dedicated return points for glass-handling. Exemptions for smaller businesses unable to handle glass might also be necessary. Any successful solution will likely blend several approaches. It must address the differing priorities of devolved administrations, balance environmental benefits with logistical and cost implications, and be supported by robust consumer education campaigns emphasizing the importance of glass recycling.
