Simpler recycling….What are the new recycling requirements? Under the new Simpler Recycling legislation, businesses with 10 employees and more must separate dry recyclables into dedicated containers and ensure food waste is collected separately, regardless of the amount produced, starting from March 2025. Businesses with fewer than 10 employees have time until March 2027 to comply. #waste #recycling #businesses Find out more here https://lnkd.in/e4P2Aj7s

From 31st March 2025, new regulations concerning the separation of commercial waste in the UK will take effect as part of a broader effort to increase recycling and reduce landfill use. The key changes include: 1. **Mandatory Waste Separation**: Businesses will be required to segregate recyclable materials, such as paper, plastic, metal, and glass, from general waste. This applies to all commercial, industrial, and public sector organizations. 2. **Food Waste Separation**: Commercial entities producing food waste will need to separate it from other waste streams, ensuring it is processed for composting, anaerobic digestion, or similar recycling methods. 3. **Improved Recycling Rates**: These changes aim to meet the UK’s recycling targets and reduce the environmental impact of waste by ensuring a higher proportion of materials are recycled. These regulations are part of the UK government’s commitment to addressing climate change and resource efficiency. Businesses should start preparing by reviewing their waste management strategies to comply with the new rules.
