Why this procedure was chosen
The provider operates the only Absorbent Hygiene Product (AHP) treatment facility in the UK capable of delivering the required service. No reasonable alternative supplier exists that can provide the safe, compliant transportation and recycling of AHP waste to the standards required by Cardiff Council and in line with statutory Welsh Government recycling targets. The arrangement is essential to maximise recycling performance, avoid potential fines, and ensure a minimum 70% recycling rate, directly supporting the Council’s statutory obligations.
