SIMPLER RECYCLING

In a bid to improve recycling rates across the UK, the Simpler Recycling initiative now requires all workplaces and non-domestic premises across England to separate key recyclable materials from general waste under the government’s Simpler Recycling legislation.

These will include glass bottles and jars, metal food and drinks cans, plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays, paper and cardboard. It will also include food waste to ensure as much food waste is recycled, which is used to then generate clean energy and fertiliser. What does this mean for us?

This means that our waste needs to be separated into dry-recyclables, food waste and general waste. As we already have general waste and recycling the only change for us will be the introduction of food waste segregation.
