Collecting compostable packaging in London, Brighton & Sussex

In 2019, recycling company Paper Round piloted a collection scheme for Vegware’s compostable foodservice disposables from 12 large corporate offices, including client training and expert support to encourage successful recycling behaviours.

This webinar analyses the waste audit data and learnings from the scheme, as well as sharing the successes and pitfalls of separately collecting compostable packaging.

Paper Round and Vegware have now joined forces to provide a commercial composting scheme in London, Brighton & Sussex.

Paper Round are a recycling company servicing over 6,000 customers in London, Brighton & and Sussex collecting everything from mixed recycling, food, and glass, to coffee cups, grounds, and IT equipment.

Vegware are specialists in plant-based compostable foodservice packaging, with an in-house Environmental team whose consultancy helps clients implement composting schemes.

Together, they have created a best-practice recycling solution for compostables, with customer engagement at its heart.
