Government launches small business recycling charter
By paulgreen
Representatives of local councils and small businesses will today sign up to a new charter designed to improve access to recycling services for small and medium-sized business (SMBs).
According to government figures, UK SMBs produce 30 million tonnes of waste a year and achieve recycling rates of over 50 per cent. However, there have been widespread complaints from small businesses that they often struggle to access cost-effective recycling services and, as a result, are forced to throw out materials that are useful for recycling.
