Recorra is proud to launch the first annual Recorra Recycling & Circularity Awards (RCAs), celebrating the incredible impact of the businesses that partner with us for real recycling and sustainable waste management.
This year, we have had the privilege of working with thousands of clients, supporting efforts in recycling, waste minimisation, carbon reduction, and sustainable procurement. Now, it’s time to celebrate those successes.
Open to all Recorra clients, including those using our waste management, Workplace Supplies, and consultancy services. From our independent businesses to multi-occupancy and multi-site partners, the RCAs are designed to recognise and celebrate your achievements.
Whether you’ve boosted recycling rates, reduced contamination, cut carbon emissions, championed reuse and repair, or inspired your teams to take action in 2025, we want to hear from you!
The RCAs are free to enter!
Supporting information and data for your entry can be accessed via MyRecorra. These awards recognise impact from 2025, so please use information from this year alone to write your submission.
All entries will be reviewed by our panel of expert judges and are automatically considered for the awards’ highest accolade: Recorra’s Sustainable Business of the Year!
Winners will be announced February 2026 and celebrated at in-person ceremonies in London and the South East in March 2026.
Have you achieved record recycling rates or saved impressive volumes from waste across a range of recycling streams? Have you dramatically reduced contamination?
Then this is the award for you!
By working with Recorra, you’re already going above and beyond with your recycling. Now, it’s time to get recognised for all your hard work.
Cutting down carbon is a key aspect of all truly sustainable and innovative businesses.
This award is for businesses that have achieved real change in carbon reduction, whether by increasing their recycling rates and volumes, purchasing recycled and low-carbon products, and/or being creative about building low-carbon initiatives into their operations.
In line with the Waste Hierarchy, reducing and reusing materials is at the heart of every sustainable, circular business.
This award recognises organisations that are driving waste prevention — whether through innovative reuse schemes, smarter design, or waste reduction initiatives that make a measurable difference.
If you’re cutting waste at the source, extending product life, or finding creative ways to reuse materials, this award is for you.
The circular economy thrives when businesses use their purchasing power to create demand for recycled, sustainable, and responsibly sourced products.
This award recognises organisations that lead the way in embedding sustainability into their procurement practices, from choosing recycled and low-impact materials to supporting ethical supply chains and innovative delivery methods.
If your organisation is championing sustainable purchasing and driving positive change through what you buy, then apply for this award!
This award celebrates the businesses that have achieved outstanding recycling and waste reduction results through staff engagement and behaviour change.
You can submit an entry for your organisation or recognise a particularly impressive tenant. Show us how businesses are helping to drive sustainable practices and supporting the circular economy through behaviour change action.
Behind every successful sustainability initiative and workplace smashing its waste and recycling targets is someone making it happen.
