WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR WASTE?

Our waste suppliers aim for at least 98% landfill avoidance. They use their state-of-the-art sorting and recycling
facilities to ensure that at least 50% of all waste collected is directly recycled and the rest is sent to EFW facilities
to produce electricity. Each of our collections are weighed, to help us with our carbon emissions tracking and
counting, and the company release their own waste figures monthly for full transparency.
