Today marks Global Recycling Day and the theme is 'Recycling Heroes', which is a great opportunity for us to share the recycling efforts of ASCO's environmental services team.
At ASCO we believe in the importance of recycling, and we continue to ensure that we recycle as much as possible of the waste we receive and produce. Recycling plays a key part in waste management, and it is also the one people talk about the most, but did you know that there are other steps in the waste hierarchy?
Reusing and recycling are the most preferred ways for end-of-life management as we aim to create a circular economy. In practice a circular economy aims to reduce waste to a minimum, reducing our impact on the environment not only because it reduces the waste going to landfills, but also eliminates, or at least reduces, the use of new raw materials.
ASCO is working hard to ensure we reduce the amount of waste that goes to landfill, and we offer our clients a Zero Waste to Landfill service, find out more about the initiative here.
