4 top reasons why you should reuse before you recycle

Read All Posts

On average England alone generates 177 million tonnes of waste each year (a lot we know!).

To help reduce this figure we need to start thinking about reusing objects rather than just recycling them.

By reusing objects we are keeping materials out of the waste stream, reducing the strain on valuable resources and not polluting the environment, amongst many other things.

From our experience in helping businesses reuse packaging, we've pulled together the 4 top reasons why you should reuse before you recycle...

 

  • You are more likely to reduce packaging waste by implementing a collection for reuse process. In 2014, RPS helped to reduce wood waste at Cummins Darlington Plant by 500te.
 
  • You will reduce the price you spend on new pallets and big bags. In 2014, we helped Huntsman Tioxide save €198,750K through pallet reuse and €538,400 through big bag reuse.
 
  • You will be able to manage business competitors more effectively with your circular economy approach. Our customers have won contracts because of their green credentials and corporate social responsibility.
 
  • You will be able to invest more in your business. Customers of ours have previously used reuse savings on expansion and employment oportunities. Ultimately benefiting the economy.
 

Here at RPS we can help you create a sustainable and cost effective waste management strategy for transit packaging, to comply with all legislation. We work with businesses on a national and international basis, so no matter where you are based we are here to help.
