Our Customer Success Director, Mike Massimi, has been featured in letsrecycle.com ahead of the Digital Waste Tracking mandate going live tomorrow, 1 October 2026.

His take? "Digital waste tracking is an evolution, not a revolution."
For operators who've already invested in strong digital foundations, it's a natural next step, not a leap into the unknown.

In the piece, Mike shares why accurate data starts at the first customer call, what good looks like across the whole journey, and the three questions every waste producer should be asking their contractor right now.

Midway through Recycle Week 2026. ♻️

This year's theme is Rescue Me, Recycle!, a reminder that so many materials we throw away still have a second life.

At Sortera, that's exactly what we do every day. The construction waste we collect gets sorted, processed, and transformed into something new:

🏗️ Hardcore becomes recycled aggregate for new construction sites
🪵 Wood is chipped and reused by board manufacturers
🧱 Plasterboard is separated and turned back into new plasterboard
🔩 Metals head to foundries and steel mills to be smelted and reused
🌱 Soil, stone, and inert waste support restoration and landscaping projects

Every skip we handle is a chance to rescue materials from waste and put them back into the circular economy.

Over the past 12 months, waste operators reported 1,518 fires across UK sites, costing the industry over £1 billion. And 2026 is on track to be the worst year yet.

Behind every fire is a real risk to skip drivers, sorting teams, firefighters, and the neighbourhoods they operate in.

Our Managing Director, PJ Chippendale, has been featured in the latest issue of Materials Recycling World (MRW), talking about the next chapter for Sortera UK.

PJ talks about bringing our depots together as one team, the £5 million investment at our Edmonton facility, handling over 800,000 tonnes of construction waste a year, and the industry challenges that come with it, from rising costs to the need for proper enforcement so responsible operators aren't undercut.

A great insight into where Sortera UK is heading, and why it matters.

A huge well done to our team of fire wardens who recently completed their latest fire safety training, covering both classroom theory and hands-on extinguisher practice.

At Sortera, we've always made sure our people are well equipped, and regular training keeps those skills sharp.

In an industry handling high-risk materials every day, having confident, trained fire wardens across our depots isn't a nice-to-have. It's essential.

London's construction and demolition waste collection has historically been cheaper than the national average, despite this being one of the most expensive places in the country to operate, with higher property costs, congestion, insurance, and compliant disposal. That's not a bargain. It's a market that hasn't caught up with reality.

Underneath, the pressure keeps building: volatile disposal costs, shrinking treatment capacity, more site fires, tighter regulation, and Digital Waste Tracking landing in October 2026. The industry is quietly absorbing costs no one priced in, and that has led to a tipping point.

Our Managing Director, PJ Chippendale, has written an opinion piece on why cheap isn't the same as good value, and what a commercial model built to actually last would look like.

A new opinion piece from our Managing Director, PJ Chippendale, makes the case that London’s construction and demolition (C&D) waste sector has outgrown its own commercial model, and that fixing it matters for everyone from site managers to policymakers.
