The Eco-Box* service from ELGA Process Water in the UK is a recycling and disposal service for laboratory water system consumables and small quantities of hazardous waste.

The service company says the service complies with rules on the disposal of hazardous waste, and helps laboratories reduce their impact on the environment by minimising the volume of waste that is sent to landfill.

Eco-Box* is a secure, durable plastic storage container. Once filled, it is collected and the contents recycled or reused wherever possible. ELGA Process Water will complete all the necessary paperwork to satisfy duty of care and safety legislative requirements.

The Eco-Box* service can be tailored to individual needs, with collections undertaken nationwide on a scheduled or call-off basis.

ELGA Process Water is part of Veolia Water Solutions & Technologies (VWS), a subsidiary of Veolia Water. VWS is a specialist provider of technological solutions in water treatment.
