Simpler Recycling

Simpler Recycling legislation aims to create consistency in the waste and recycling materials collected from households and businesses across the UK.

This legislation came into force for all businesses with 10 or more employees on 31 March 2025. Further requirements will be introduced in March 2027, when all businesses and households will also need to arrange for the collection ofFlexible Plastics.

To be compliant, businesses must:

  • Segregate Food waste for recycling
  • Recycle Glass (if applicable)
  • Recycle paper, cardboard, cans, plastics, and cartons (these can be collected together as Mixed Recycling)
  • Recycle Soft Plastics (from 31st March 2027 onwards)

Circular Box questions answered

  • Flexible plastics are hard to recycle as they are made out of mixed plastic materials, making them difficult and costly to separate. They also often contain additives that can contaminate the recycling stream, making it hard to produce high-quality recycled material.

  • A waste management company is responsible for collecting, transporting, processing, recycling, and disposing of waste materials in a safe and environmentally responsible way. At Recorra, we go beyond waste collection. We deliver innovative recycling solutions, transparent reporting, and expert guidance to help businesses reduce their environmental impact and achieve their sustainability goals. Our reliable, forward-thinking approach makes us the smart choice for organisations that care about their future and the planet. 

  • The Circular Box was created to collect hard-to-recycle items such as office stationery and soft plastics that can’t go in standard recycling bins. Once filled, the contents are sent to specialist facilities where the materials are sorted and processed for recycling.

  • The Circular Box can be collected as little or as often as you need. We can arrange collections on either a regular schedule or an ad hoc basis. When we collect your Circular Box, we will also deliver a replacement box to ensure you always have one available. For ad hoc collections, simply contact our helpdesk to arrange a collection.
