Recorra has developed a green waste composting initiative in collaboration with landscaping teams, providing a sustainable and circular solution to green waste. 🍃 ♻ We’re the first waste company in London to create a dedicated route for green waste, servicing various commercial locations across the city, such as British Land, Landsec, Battersea Power Station, and several Savills sites. We’ve been working with Q&S Limited (Quality & Service Ltd), who maintain landscapes 100% chemical free, to create compost from green waste generated across their client sites. None of the green waste collected will go to landfill or be incinerated. The hope is to help businesses integrate circularity into their operations allowing them to return the compost to their sites. 📰 To find out more, head to our blog: https://lnkd.in/eZEx_CE9

We’re proud to have delivered our signage to Landsec’s first carbon neutral building The Forge! The Forge is also the UK’s first net zero commercial office development. Of course, the signage was delivered by our zero-emission e-bike. 🚲 As we continue on our own journey to net zero, we’re incredibly proud of the sustainably efforts made by our customers each and every day. ⚡ Oliver Swan #NetZero #Sustainability

Meet our small but mighty compactor! Our latest blog post breaks down the benefits of the Hubb, our compactor designed to help businesses manage their waste more effectively. Smaller than standard compactors but ‘packing’ a mighty punch, storing up to 40 x 1100L bins, but taking the space of only 6! 📧 Contact our Helpdesk at [email protected] to see if this works for you. #Compactors #Recycling #WasteManagement

Lovely to see our fantastic clients Julius Rutherfoord & Co join us for our community clean ups along the Thames. Thank you volunteers! 🌍💚 If you’d like to find out more about our engagement offerings and how you can get involved, contact us at [email protected] ♻️
Earlier this week, we partnered with the wonderful team at Recorra for a rewarding beach cleanup. It was incredible to see everyone come together with a shared goal: to protect our environment and make a real difference. 🌍💪 In only one hour, we managed to collect over 15kg of waste, which Recorra expertly took care of in an eco-friendly way. While it might seem like a small amount compared to the vast amount of litter ending up on our beaches and in our waters each day, every consistent small step brings us closer to a healthier planet. A huge thank you to all the volunteers who made this possible. We’re excited to continue championing environmental efforts! 💚🌱

Have you caught up with our Net Zero Strategist Kirsten Zoe Smith? Every month, she posts her regular ‘Carbon Catchup’, sharing Recorra’s progress and her work managing our transition to #netzero. Catch up with Kirsten below! #WasteManagement
It's almost the end of July, so I'm back with another 'Carbon Catchup', where I share Recorra's progress towards #netzero. The highlight of the month was a trip I took with the team to Cory Environmental, our Energy from Waste (EfW) partner. Cory process and transform waste into byproducts that can be reused as road aggregate, breeze blocks, reclaimed metal, and energy. I was there to tour the site and better understand their process and their carbon capture plans (I'm going to do a separate post on this part). I learnt a huge amount about just what happens to our general waste when we pass it over to the incinerator. Warning - general waste is not sorted prior to incineration - so when you put recycling in the general waste, thinking it must get sorted anyway - it won't! Make sure you recycle everything you can :) The rest of this month's work has been focused on data and carbon accounting- we're trawling through lines of procurement data as I write this. It's rather nitty-gritty work and involves continuously making decisions about how to process data accurately, while keeping the task manageable. Due to how opaque carbon accounting can be, I wanted to mention a few heroes working in this space. Firstly, the incredible Mike Berners-Lee who's detailed work on emissions factors is incredibly helpful. His books 'There Is No Planet B', and 'How Bad Are Bananas?' deserve all the praise they receive. The other hero (amongst others) that I've been referencing a lot is Hannah Ritchie - how many people make their raw data available to freely download? The website Our World in Data is just a fantastic resource that we've been using to create some tailored services for our industry. I've got a bunch of climate books on my reading list, and her book 'Not The End Of The World' is on there. Finally, a bit on the client side - I was at 30 Fenchurch yesterday, assisting our sustainability consulting team with a Lunch and Learn and trying out some new content. The whole team does great work, and I'm working to provide the climate context to everything Recorra does to advance real recycling. A busy month! But lots to be excited about going forwards.
