Simpler Recycling
Simpler Recycling - New regulations will soon require your business to separate recyclable materials from your general waste.
What’s changing and why
From the 31 March 2025 businesses will need to separate the following groups of recyclable materials:
- Glass, metal and plastic
- Cardboard and paper
- Food waste as a dedicated collection
The new guidelines apply to all businesses, healthcare establishments, and academic institutions.
However, small businesses with fewer than 10 full-time employees, are temporarily exempt until the 31 March 2027.
