Away from Home Waste

With the UK Government turning its attention to 'recycling on the go' in order to address the issue of away from home waste, Valpak has the knowledge and proven practical experience to help.

Having devised and directed a cross-sectoral partnership project to address 'away from home waste' in Glasgow City Centre, we have produced an economically sustainable and easily transferable model to enable 'recycling on the go'. Key service provisions include:

  • existing recycling service infrastructure appraisal
  • cost benefit analysis for recycling service and/or infrastructure improvements
  • carbon footprinting of the service to ensure environmental sustainability
  • a locally appropriate recycling solution, including engaging with and coordinating cross-sectoral partners

For more details please contact us or download the Glasgow Recycles case study and executive summary.

The type of organisations who could benefit from this service include local authorities, social enterprises and private sector organisations seeking corporate social responsibility (CSR) opportunities.

Quote: Volvic

“By working with local councils to improve levels of PET recovery and recycling through schemes such as this we can encourage consumers to recycle plastic bottles where possible and make a difference to the volume of recycled PET that is available to use, in addition to creating new employment opportunities.”
