With significant changes to recycling regulations coming into effect in England from 2025, we are here to help businesses adapt seamlessly. The government’s Simpler Recycling initiative aims to standardise waste management, ensuring consistent recycling systems across the country. This legislation requires separate collection of recyclables and food waste, starting with businesses in March 2025, households in March 2026, and micro-businesses (with 10 employees or less) by March 2027.

What Does This Mean for Your Business?

Consistent Recycling Practices: All local councils will align to collect the same core materials for recycling, including paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, and glass.

Separate Food Waste Collections: Businesses (and households) will need to segregate food waste from general waste.

Enhanced Recycling Standards: By making it easier to recycle, the regulations aim to reduce contamination and increase recycling efficiency, contributing to the UK’s broader sustainability goals.
