Make sure you make every can count
EVERY Can Counts has announced its joint efforts with the Welsh Assembly Government and Envirowise to get more people recycling drinks cans.
The out of home recycling programme for drinks cans is being promoted by Envirowise as part of its Public Sector Waste Minimisation Campaign, funded by the Welsh Assembly Government.
The campaign aims to support all public sector organisations in Wales in their work to reduce waste generated as a result of their day-to-day operations in delivering services to the public.
To date, Every Can Counts has successfully recruited 13 organisations to work with, some of which have used the programme to set up new recycling schemes, others to complement existing initiatives.
Environment Minister, Jane Davidson, said: “Programmes like the PSWMC and Every Can Counts demonstrate how much can be achieved by recycling within the workplace and I hope their success will encourage other organisations to take their recycling efforts to the next level.
“Later this year I will be launching our Waste Management strategy Towards Zero Waste which will set out our ambitions of becoming a high recycling country by 2025 and a zero waste country by 2050.
“Dramatically improving recycling at work will be key to helping us achieve these ambitions. ”
