The verdict in three sentences
An EHS manager looking for a hazardous waste contractor checks three things before calling: the waste streams handled by EWC code, the EPA licences and waste collection permits, and the ability to handle waste transfer documentation without friction. A B2B website that answers these questions costs 20,000 to 45,000 EUR in Dublin in 2026 (7,000 to 15,000 EUR excl. VAT for a comparable site in Bordeaux), with a collection request form using waste codes and an optional client portal on top. Against industrial contracts worth 10,000 to 200,000 EUR a year, a single client signed through the website pays back the investment.
What the industrial buyer looks for on your website
Buyers are EHS managers, plant directors and procurement teams at licensed sites: pharmaceutical and chemical plants in Cork and around Dublin, medical devices in the west, food processing, construction. Their question is not "what do you do?" but "can you take my 16 05 06* or 13 02 05* waste with compliant transfer documents?".
| Page or feature | What it proves | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Waste stream catalogue by EWC code | You handle the buyer's waste | Essential |
| EPA licences, waste collection permits, TFS approvals | Verifiable regulatory compliance | Essential |
| Waste tracking and transfer documentation | No admin burden for the client | Essential |
| Sector pages (pharma, chemicals, medtech, construction) | Proven industry experience | High |
| Map of facilities and collection area | Credible logistics across Ireland | High |
| Collection request form with waste codes | Qualified enquiries, faster quotes | High |
| Recovery indicators (recycling rate, energy) | ESG argument for the buyer | Medium |

The waste code form, the most profitable investment
A generic "Contact us" form forces the salesperson to call back and ask everything. A structured form captures the waste code, physical state, packaging (drums, IBCs, skips), annual volume, frequency and safety data sheet. The salesperson can price from the first exchange, which shortens the quote cycle by several days.
Tracking: explain it or integrate it
In Ireland, hazardous waste movements require transfer documentation and, for cross-border shipments, TFS paperwork, while France uses the Trackdéchets platform. On a brochure site, a page explaining how you handle documentation is often enough. Integration becomes useful when you want the client portal to show document status and disposal certificates, which sharply reduces follow-up calls.

FAQ
Should we publish our licences on the website?
Yes, at least as downloadable PDFs or links to the EPA licence register. EHS buyers ask for them every time, and a one-click PDF saves 1 to 2 email exchanges per prospect.
How do we rank on Google for waste codes?
One page per waste family (solvents, oils, sludges, contaminated packaging) listing the relevant codes and treatment route. Budget 15 to 30 such pages to cover most of your activity.
Can we show prices online?
Rarely for hazardous waste, since price depends on analysis, volume and transport. A stated response time (quote within 48 or 72 h) does reassure buyers.
Is a client portal worth it for a mid-sized firm?
Yes from 30 to 50 regular clients. Self-service downloads of certificates and collection notes can save 5 to 10 hours of admin a month.
How long does a full site take?
Between 7 and 10 weeks, the longest step being writing the waste stream catalogue with your technical teams.
