Climate Change ♻
Climate change is the biggest threat that our society faces, and it is one of the reason that we encourage so many businesses and individuals to monitor their environmental impacts by recycling and reducing their carbon footprint.
Here at Commercial Waste, we are dedicated to reporting on breaking climate change news from around the world, covering scientific discovery, technological advancements, national and international legislations, and climate change disasters.
Towards the end of 2015, 95% of the world's governments signed the UN climate deal, the first real diplomatic success at uniting to try and curb the negative effects of climate change. Bearing this in mind, here at Business Waste we expect regulations to change for UK businesses over the coming years (if not sooner) to encourage a move towards green technology investment and more efficient waste management.
