As the countdown to 31st March 2025 approaches, businesses across the UK are preparing for the implementation of new recycling bin legislation aimed at promoting sustainability and reducing environmental impact.
The new law requires businesses with 10 or more full-time employees to separate “recycling relevant waste” before it is collected and processed off-site. At Hygenie Washrooms, we are committed to helping businesses comply with this legislation through supplying a range of recycling bins to help you manage your waste.
What Does the New Legislation Entail?
From 31st March 2025, businesses must segregate specific types of waste into three categories, ensuring proper recycling and disposal. The key waste streams identified under the legislation include:
- Mixed Dry Recycling (paper, cardboard, glass, and metal)
- Food Waste
- Plastic Waste
Failure to comply with the new requirements may result in penalties, highlighting the importance of proactive planning and implementation.
We understand the challenges businesses face when adapting to new regulations. That’s why we offer an extensive range of colour-coded recycling bins designed to simplify compliance while supporting environmental goals. Our solutions are:
