Recycling is ...Good for PEOPLE
Increasingly customers are looking to their suppliers to demonstrate Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). By developing and promoting environmental policies such as recycling and waste prevention you can portray a positive image of your business that motivates your staff and helps to retain and attract new customers.Recycling is ...Good for the ENVIRONMENT
Recycling your business waste means that more waste material is diverted from landfill. We ask that you segregate the different recycling materials, because when mixed with other rubbish - such as kitchen waste - materials can become contaminated and un-recyclable.Collecting separated materials from businesses means that much more can be recycled, allowing us to recycle 100% of everything we collect, and allowing your business to make a positive contribution towards tackling climate change and protecting the environment.
Recycling is ...A valuable resource
Business waste is a valuable resource that can be recycled into new materials such as paper products and stationery.Purchasing recycled products or "closing the loop" also stimulates the demand for recycling.
Recycling can form the cornerstone of achieving external recognition and validation of your business practices such as ISO14001 and Keep Edinburgh Clean Awards.
