Flavourings & Fragrances

Hazardous Waste Management for Flavourings & Fragrances

Simply Waste Consultants provides discreet, compliant waste management for flavour houses, fragrance blenders, and NPD facilities across England, Scotland, and Wales. We understand the need for confidentiality around formulations whilst ensuring full regulatory compliance for ethanol-based and solvent waste streams.

Flavourings & Fragrances Waste Streams We Handle

Flavour and fragrance production generates valuable but hazardous waste requiring secure disposal. Our service manages:

  • Ethanol solutions and alcohol-based carriers

  • Essential oils and natural extracts

  • Solvent mixtures (propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol)

  • Off-specification blends

  • Trial formulations and R&D batches

  • Contaminated wipes and cleaning materials

  • Equipment wash-down waste

Classification and Compliance Support

Flavour and fragrance waste requires accurate classification whilst protecting proprietary information. Our experienced team list and classify each waste stream accurately, determining correct hazard codes and disposal routes without compromising commercial sensitivity.

We provide full compliance support including:

  • Hazardous Waste Consignment Notes

  • EWC and HP code assignment

  • Alcohol duty considerations where applicable

  • Confidential waste documentation

  • Regulatory notifications

Collection and Transport

We arrange secure collection services through our network of licensed, ADR-compliant hauliers operating under confidentiality agreements. Reliable uplifts are coordinated across England, Scotland, and Wales, with waste traceable only to authorised personnel.

Our collection capability ranges from single drum uplifts to full articulated loads. We handle small-scale collections of individual 205-litre drums, intermediate bulk containers (IBCs), and palletised waste. For larger volumes, we arrange multi-pallet collections up to 24 pallets per load, plus bulk tanker services for ethanol solutions, essential oil waste, and solvent mixtures. All collections are conducted under strict confidentiality protocols with secure chain of custody documentation. Regular scheduled collections can be established for ongoing production waste, whilst ad-hoc uplifts accommodate product development cycles and trial batch disposal requirements.
