We’re beyond thrilled to share that we’ve won the National Recycling Award for Recycling Excellence – Site Management at one of our customer’s properties.

This prestigious recognition highlights our unwavering commitment to sustainable waste management. We’re proud to have helped achieve an impressive 73% recycling rate at this property, surpassing the goal of 65%.

This was made possible through a variety of significant initiatives, including:

  • The use of our self-developed ThinkGreen waste management system to simplify the waste process and enhance engagement with occupiers.
  • Implementing bespoke waste sacks to identify and segregate each stream easily.
  • Waste room decoration and hand-painted for better visibility of the waste process.
  • Engagement and training sessions for occupiers and waste operatives.
  • Bespoke auditing and reporting for occupier floors and each company.
  • Implementing re-use schemes.

We’re honoured to be recognised for our collaborative efforts in creating an efficient and sustainable recycling operation. Together, we’re paving the way for a greener future!
