Save money on your glass recycling with WRAP
BHA members with liquor licences can save money on their glass recycling by using the Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP).
WRAP, the organisation established to promote resource efficiency in the marketplace, has designed a series of glass recycling guidelines for licensed establishments, which are now available at www.wrap.org.uk/pubglasstoolkit
According to WRAP, recycling used glass containers can bring significant financial benefits, such as savings on waste disposal charges and helping businesses to comply with packaging regulations.
Andy Dawe, materials sector manager at WRAP, said, “Recycling can unlock the £9m value of the 600,000 tonnes of glass thrown out by pubs and clubs every year – enough glass to fill Wembley stadium one and a half times!”
Recycling can also help clean up the environmental image of a company by appealing to the more ethically-minded consumer.
