As part of our partnership with Cambridge University Hospital (CUH) NHS Foundation Trust, we have been supporting Environmental Days to inspire and educate staff and patients on how to use the recycling containers across the site. Organising the recycling containers on site is only one part of an organisation’s recycling journey, ensuring that the right materials are put in the right container is the next step. The Environmental Days provide a fantastic opportunity for staff to be inspired and understand what they can recycle in each of the containers and to see for themselves the journey the waste takes to be recycled or turned into fuel once it has arrived at our site.
The Ellgia team have been working closely with the hospitals’ Environmental Team to identify issues for our Environmental Days and help them to improve recycling rates.
