Enviros Voted Top Waste Management Consultant

The 2005 Consultants’ Survey in Environment Business Magazine has placed Enviros in top slot for our ‘waste management’ expertise. We quote:

…..’as an aggregate of both customers and consultants, Enviros gets a far more consistent vote as top consultancy in this field.’

The 2005 Edie Net and Environment Business Environmental Consultancy Survey has now been completed with responses from 1557 individuals, 1194 (77%) of whom are Edie Net users and 954 (61%) are readers of Environment Business.

Unlike other surveys, this survey examines the views, opinions and expertise of both consultancy providers themselves and the end users of those consultancies. We feel that this adds value as it shows what customers think about the consultancy providers and the state of the market, rather than an "official" line from one side or the other. Read more at Consultancy Survey 2005: Who is top of the boffins?

European Pollution Emission Register (EPER) Published

Enviros was engaged with self employed consultant Keith Knox, more than three years ago to assist the EA in providing a simplified method of landfill emissions reporting for the UK. The information Enviros provided was used in the creation of the UK web site used for inputting the data, and which for the past two years has contained sections showing UK Landfill EPER data (especially for leachate emissions). The European Pollution Register (EPER) web site (www.eper.cec.eu.int), which has now been published by the EU, brings together pollution data from the EU nations, and is now providing a single reference point available to all for free, so that all EU citizens can view and compare operators, and nations alike. We already have “the right to know”, and now all of us can exercise that right from our desktops.
