Reuse and recycling options:

There are a wide range of options in to reuse, upcycle, recycle and compost resources your organisation no longer has a use for. These steps all extend the life of existing products, or allow resources to continue to cycle through our economy. As well as a reduction in resource use, greenhouse gas emissions and resources going to landfill, this is likely to also lead to cost savings to your business, and benefits to local communities.

If you have other providers to add to this document, please let us know on [email protected].

1. Repair, refurbishment and cleaning

Maintaining, repairing and refurbishing equipment will lead to a longer life for your products and all their components; avoid the use of new resources and greenhouse gas emissions from transport; and possibly cost savings for your organisation.

These local businesses can help maintain, repair, clean and refurbish items to extend their use:

2. Reuse

It’s ideal to reuse products before recycling them, so that all existing materials and components can continue to be used for as long as possible without new resource inputs, as well as additional energy use, greenhouse gas emissions, and ongoing costs.

4. Composting

It’s important that any organic items get composted rather than going to landfill. Composting makes valuable organic resources available again for gardens, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions from organic matter going to landfill, where it produces methane.
