In this episode of the Nexus ReGen Podcast, host Will Rundle, co-founder of Nexus ReGen, sits down with James Hill, Chief Strategy Officer at Dunton Environmental, to discuss one of the biggest challenges facing the construction industry today: how to balance cost efficiency with sustainability in hazardous waste management.

With over 20 years of experience in geoenvironmental services and waste management, James shares insights into contaminated land remediation, off-site soil treatment, and the role of innovation and digitalisation in reducing landfill dependency. They explore:

✅ The impact of landfill tax increases and how companies can minimise costs
✅ The importance of early planning in waste management to optimise sustainability
✅ How soil treatment hubs and circular economy principles are reshaping the industry
✅ The role of AI and digital tools, like Dunton’s Classified AI, in streamlining waste classification

James also shares a global perspective on best practices in waste management and what the UK can learn from European and Scandinavian policies.

Tune in for a deep dive into the future of waste management, practical strategies for construction professionals, and how companies can stay ahead in an evolving regulatory landscape.
