Main Problems/Challenges Recycling Industry Face and How We Can Help Solve Them.
Recycling businesses play a vital role in sustainability but face daily risks, from equipment breakdowns and fire hazards to environmental compliance and workplace safety. Having the right protection in place helps your business stay efficient, compliant, and financially secure.
Stored paper, plastics, and other recyclable materials are highly flammable. Fires can start from sparks, overheating machinery, or spontaneous combustion, leading to major property damage.
We provide Property and Fire Damage cover options that help with repair and replacement costs after an insured fire event, ensuring your operations can resume quickly and safely.
Recycling operations depend on sorting, crushing, and baling machinery. A mechanical breakdown can bring production to a halt and cause costly delays.
We offer Equipment Breakdown cover options to assist with repair or replacement costs for critical machinery, helping you minimise downtime and maintain efficiency.
Staff working around heavy machinery, moving materials, and hazardous waste face a high risk of accidents and injuries. Worker claims can impact both finances and productivity.
Our Workers Compensation and Management Liability cover options help manage the cost of employee injury claims and support compliance with workplace safety laws.
Leaks, spills, or improper waste handling can contaminate soil or water, leading to fines, clean-up costs, and reputational harm.
We offer Environmental Liability cover options to assist with clean-up and remediation costs, helping your business meet environmental responsibilities and avoid penalties.
Visitors, contractors, or nearby property owners could be affected by your operations, from vehicle movement to material handling accidents. These incidents can result in expensive legal claims.
We provide Public Liability cover options that help with legal defence and compensation costs for third-party injury or property damage, keeping your business financially secure.
Recycling sites often store valuable metals, machinery, and materials that attract thieves and vandals. Loss or damage can disrupt operations and increase costs.
We provide Property and Theft cover options to help with repair and replacement expenses after theft or vandalism, ensuring your site remains operational.
Frequent vehicle use for material collection and transport increases the risk of road accidents, cargo loss, or damage to other vehicles and property.
We offer Commercial Motor and Transit cover options that assist with repair costs, third-party liabilities, and cargo replacement, helping your transport operations run smoothly.
Recycling businesses are regulated under strict environmental and safety standards. Any breach even unintentional, can lead to investigations, penalties, or enforced shutdowns.
Our Management Liability cover options help with the cost of defending your business during compliance investigations, ensuring you meet legal and operational obligations.
