How Your Business Can Get Involved
Whether you’re just starting your recycling journey or looking to build on existing efforts, here are some simple ways to take part in Recycle Week:
1. Run an Internal Recycling Drive
Encourage staff to bring in items from home (like batteries or electronics) or improve how waste is sorted in the workplace. Provide clearly marked bins and guidance.
2. Audit Your Waste Streams
Do you know where your waste goes? Conduct a mini waste audit to identify what can be recycled better, and where contamination might be an issue.
3. Review Your Supply Chain
Are your packaging materials recyclable? Can suppliers offer alternatives? Recycle Week is a great excuse to re-evaluate your materials.
4. Communicate What You’re Doing
Use your platforms to share stats, tips, or even just show behind-the-scenes efforts. People engage with businesses that lead by example.
5. Get the Team Involved
Make it fun! Set up a challenge, host a quiz or run a prize draw for recycling champions in your workplace.
What We’re Doing at Celtic Dynamics
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we’ve been looking at how we can minimise waste in our operations across the regions we work in. This includes:
- Ensuring all our packaging and printed materials are 100% recyclable
- Improving internal recycling points at our offices and project sites
- Donating unused electronics to local community projects where possible
- Supporting clients with advice on waste reduction strategies during energy audits
Recycle Week gives us a reason to go further, and to celebrate the progress being made.
