Preparing for the UK’s New Recycling Legislation

With upcoming changes (March 2025) to recycling legislation in the UK, businesses are facing new challenges in waste management. To stay compliant and support sustainability, businesses will need to adopt better recycling practices and ensure proper waste segregation. 

We have a solution with the ProCycle Recycling Bin, a product designed to help businesses meet these new requirements efficiently.

Key Changes in UK Recycling Legislation

What are the changes we all need to be aware of?

1. Mandatory recycling targets mean businesses must separate materials like paper, plastics, and glass.
2. Increased reporting and audits to ensure compliance with recycling targets

How the ProCycle Recycling Bin Helps

The Procycle Recycling Bin 80L enables easy adaptation to various recycling requirements by making it simpler for organisations to manage and separate their waste effectively and sustainably. 
 
The modular system includes connectors so users can build bespoke multi-recycling stations tailored to their specific needs, with colour coded back panels for seven different waste streams. These waste streams include glass bottles & jars; food tins & drinks cans; mixed card; food waste; plastic packaging; general waste; and mixed recycling. 

With the legislation set to roll out in March 2025, by acting now, your business can stay ahead of the regulations, avoid penalties, and showcase its commitment to sustainability.

Education Sector
