Global Recycling Day 2025

18/03/2025

From April 2025, all businesses in England with more than 10 full time employees will be required to separate their dry recyclable waste from residual waste as part of the Government’s Simpler Recycling legislation. In 2024, 60% of UK adults claimed to recycle everything that can be recycled, with another 30% recycling most things. The main barrier to recycling is the lack of knowledge about what materials can be recycled.   

Here at Xpres, we purposely seek out suppliers who take positive action to minimise both waste and the impact of their manufacturing processes on the surrounding environment.   

We want to make it easy for you and your customers to recycle waste, which is why our eco products are 100% recyclable. On Global Recycling Day, we want to share just a few of our sustainable products.
