With an ever increasing focus on enhancing environmental performance and resource efficiency, coupled with ongoing changes in legislation; hazardous waste management is an ongoing challenge for waste producers. Totus is committed to providing clients with a transparent approach; from consultation through to the implementation of sustainable solutions, including a fully compliant transfontier shipment (TFS) service.

Totus' expert team is highly competent dealing with hazardous materials
Totus Environmental has strong relationships with producers and offtakers across Europe.
We recognise that identifying appropriate, compliant and cost-effective hazardous waste services can be a time-consuming exercise. We continuously review our offering and will work with partners to suggest operational enhancements to maximise value and efficiencies.
With limited recycling options available for hazardous materials, our qualified team implement the waste hierarchy to ensure all individual waste streams are treated sustainably.
Materials that cannot be recycled, will be recovered either as an alternative fuel source, co-incinerated in cement plants, or used as a secondary raw material. No waste handled by Totus ends up in landfill.
