Waste Analysis
Tighter regulations regarding waste compliance and growing concerns for the environment mean that the need to evaluate and control waste is becoming greater. Yet, as the old adage says, "you can't manage what you don't measure".
Whether you need the compositional analysis of your waste to understand how services or processing might be adjusted to improve capture of materials, or its chemical analysis to better understand and manage how a waste-derived fuel meets a cement kiln specification, we can help you.
As half of our team is made up of chemists, we can take care of all your sampling needs from the complete turn-key service to the more specific intervention. We can provide complete guidance and management provision for your waste disposal solutions, or you can select a single service from the list below. We are increasingly providing support to our clients to encompass the entire sampling requirement from beginning to end - which includes arranging for containers to be delivered to a clients site, courier collection, laboratory testing and data analysis including storage of this data.

Monksleigh can provide a full service from organising sample collection to complete analysis and interpretation of data or you can pick and choose any specific intervention or any combination from the list below to suit your needs.
Data Interpretation and Options Analysis
Tired of spreadsheets? In need of a simpler way to check on the laboratory analysis against your outlet's specification? We can create default and bespoke dashboards to help you see clearly the results of your sampling and the key elements of your data analysis. Our dashboard service will capture your results over time, store your data, instantly highlight areas that require improvement, and support you in addressing the potential issues.
Laboratory Analysis
Unsure of the parameters you need for your sampling? Unsure of the process of getting a laboratory service delivered with the results needed for an offtaker? We can advise you on the parameters required and organise our UKAS accredited partner laboratory to collect your sample, undertake the laboratory testing, and return the results to you in a cost-effective way. We will also manage the associated administration for you.
On Site Audits and Sampling Plan Verification
Already undertaking sampling in your MRF or processing line, but need some third-party verification? Need to report and explain back to your client why their materials are too contaminated? We can support that process, assure you and any of your stakeholders of your approach and make recommendations for improvements where needed.
On Site Sampling and Sampling Plans
Need to take a Representative sample? Confused by the 'cone and quarter' approach? Need some support on representative sampling? We can help steer you through the guidance and help implement a practical plan for site delivery. From arms-length implementation, through to hands-on delivery of the Sampling Plan itself, we can ensure that your samples are as representative as they can be, in line with the type of waste being handled.
