It's Waste Crime Awareness Week and we're highlighting how the Environment Agency is using SelectaDNA to help tackle illegal dumping.

Waste crime damages communities, harms the environment and undermines legitimate businesses. To help combat it, trained officers from the Agency's Disruption and Prevention Team have been forensically marking waste bales at sites in areas including Kettering and Telford, as part of its Waste Crime Prevention strategy.

If marked waste is illegally dumped, its unique forensic code means it can be traced, so the Agency can follow the movement of the waste and find those responsible.

📰 Great to see SelectaDNA featured in The Guardian!

As copper prices continue to rise, so does the risk of cable theft. In a recent Guardian article covering BT's copper recovery programme, Openreach highlighted the use of our synthetic DNA technology as part of its efforts to deter theft and protect critical infrastructure. Openreach reported a 30% reduction in copper theft during 2024.

We're proud to play a role in helping infrastructure owners protect their networks and reduce the impact of cable theft.

On the final day of Rural Crime Action Week we're looking back at partnerships making a real difference for farming communities across the UK.

North Yorkshire Police : 8,000 SelectaDNA kits issued to 1,600+ farms. Farms using the kits were 96% less likely to be a victim of crime.

Sussex: Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner Katy Bourne funded 1,000 kits for farmers, building on a 52.9% drop in burglary incidents seen in a Rother district trial.

Humberside Police: the Rural Task Force marked over £1.4 million worth of agricultural equipment at community events with local Cadets.

Each kit applies a unique synthetic DNA solution, not visible to the naked eye but detectable under UV light, linking recovered property back to its owner.
