During Recycling Week 14 – 20 October, we’d like to showcase some of the great work being undertaken by EMERGE 3Rs. Collectively, we are EMERGE Recycling, FareShare Greater Manchester and Touch Wood. Today, we are shining a light on EMERGE Recycling and the work it’s doing both across Greater Manchester and further afield to help recycling partners have a big impact on our environment and our community.
Using EMERGE Recycling & Touch Wood has enabled us to reduce our carbon footprint even more, improving environmental awareness with our colleagues by committing to the source separating discipline. Their services are really cost-effective and efficient. The fact that EMERGE is a Bencom and socially responsible really chimes with our ethos and objectives too. As a supplier, they’re a great fit for us and we’re proud to work together – Beth Moore, Sustainability Representative at One + All (A certified B Corporation)
EMERGE Recycling has been supporting One + All with recycling services since January 2020. The services we provide them are:
- baled cardboard collections
- ad hoc food waste collections
- weekly collections of their internal office recycling, cans, paper, cardboard & plastic bottles
- confidential waste
- ICT secure disposal & other waste electrical
All of the segregated waste streams collected are kept separate to avoid cross contamination. They’re then brought back to our depot at New Smithfield Market for processing. Items are baled and sent to our local mills and reprocessors to be recycled back into further reusable products.
EMERGE send One + All a certificate showing them the amount of Co2 they have saved by real recycling as well as how they have helped us deliver local social value.
