Since the introduction of Simpler Recycling for businesses on April 1, 2025, we have seen remarkable adoption rates, with 579 businesses embracing food waste and mixed recycling collection services within the first two months after the launch of the new legislation.
The initiative's impact is already visible across various business sectors, from prestigious estates to local restaurants. Chelsea Barracks stands out as one of the first estates in Westminster to fully implement food waste collections, marking a significant milestone in their sustainability journey. "The transition has been positive and seamless" reports a Chelsea Barracks representative. They particularly praised our sales representative Marek Nagajek for his practical advice and ability to tailor solutions that work for both their residential and commercial partners.
Smaller businesses are also seeing the benefits of their added services. Romeo San, a local bar, has reported positive results from their participation in the food waste service. "Separating food waste has been simpler than expected, and it's now an easy part of our routine," shares a Romeo San spokesperson. "We're grateful to Marek from the sales team, who helped us open an account and guided us through the process. His support made getting started smooth and straightforward."
The success of the Simpler Recycling initiative demonstrates how well-implemented environmental services, backed by dedicated support staff, can drive significant positive change in business waste management practices. With thousands of businesses already on board, the service is well-positioned to continue its positive impact on businesses sustainability goals.
