It may of gone unnoticed by many business but the rules on workplace recycling will be introduced on the 6th April and all businesses in Wales need to be prepared ( your should also be prepared if you are in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland as it is likely to be introduced their in the future).
A quick reference guide is the following will need to be recycled in all Welsh based workplaces.
Must be added to the recycled collection
- Food.
- Paper and board ( with exceptions).
- Glass.
- Metal.
- Plastics.
- Cartons such as Tetrapaks.
- Textiles (not used for retail sales).
- Small electrical products (not used for retails sales).
Must be added to the general waste collection
- Contaminated food packaging.
- Any material that has come into contact with food, grease or oils.
- Paper towels and wet wipes including tissues.
- PLA including our products that aren't part of a specialised collection service such as First Mile - This is fine to add to general waste which is now typically incinerated for energy production - Find out more here.
Normally we prepare some in-depth information but we felt that our supply partner Vegware has created such an informative article on the new rules that we would send you in their direction.
I should add that our local Council did an assessment on The Pure Option and was amazed as we re-use all material waste in our business or we composted our waste , so we are 100% a non waste generating business.
