To ensure our materials are effectively recycled at the end of their lifecycle, we have conducted extensive research in collaboration with U.K. waste recyclers. We have delved into the complexities of waste management within our clients’ businesses and back of store retail environments, identifying key challenges and opportunities for Think Ambient materials, Recycling Made Easy.
Through these key partnerships, we have gained a comprehensive understanding of waste streams and commercial recycling processes. This knowledge empowers us to provide clear guidance to our clients on the correct disposal of our printed materials.
We can confidently advise whether our products should be placed in Paper & Cardboard, Mixed Recycling, or General Waste bins. By simplifying recycling instructions & enhancing their knowledge, we aim to reduce waste contamination and significantly increase recycling rates for our clients. This commitment to post-consumer waste management reinforces our dedication to creating a circular economy.
