Smiths News identified an opportunity to offer their clients an easier way to recycle.
With the logistical infrastructure already existing, establishing a fit-for-purpose recycling system was good, added value use of their resources. They wanted to provide retailers with their own means of sending cardboard and plastic for recycling and give them an easy outlet for the processing of it.
The idea was sound, but having not been experts in recycling, they were starting to experience bottlenecks and see flaws in their existing operation, so they turned to Genus Recycling for help.
Genus Recycling was commissioned to work on Smiths News recycling project and develop an efficient recycling process that would enable them to provide the service they envisioned.
After carrying out an audit of the premises, Genus Recycling went on to prepare a robust plan covering equipment provision, staff training and implementation.
Even in the trial phase of the plan roll-out, Smiths News recycling saw marked improvements. With upgrades in machinery, efficiency increased, and the consequent back log and cost of recycling, significantly decreased.
Now, with an investment that is already paying off, Smiths News are able to help their clients with this new service more effectively and are successfully positioned to assist them with the new business recycling legislation that is coming into effect this April.
This legislation mandates that all businesses with more than 10 employees are required to establish a means to recycle. Now, thanks to Genus Recycling, Smiths News clients have the exact means to do it.
