Simpler Recycling offers a cost-effective way to help reduce carbon footprints and make businesses’ sustainability ambitions easier to achieve.
As the name suggests it really is simple and, best of all is about saving money now and in the future. The Government really is getting behind the idea of a circular economy, by moving from years of aspirational talk, to making regulations that drive positive change a reality.
With Simpler Recycling legislation now in effect, we know how important it is for our local business customers across the South to understand the changes they need to make and the wider role they play in building a circular economy.
At the Chambers Waste Management, Cox Group and Wilrose we’re helping organisations to take positive steps with guidance that makes compliance straightforward and ensures they’re equipped for long-term environmental success.
We have always gone the extra mile to ensure nothing that can be recycled goes to waste. Now we are gearing up customers to go that yard or two further again, and give waste a second life.
