UK: Awards for Excellence in Recycling and Waste Management

Celebrating the creativity, progress and the sheer dedication of those working to keep resources in the loop, the Awards for Excellence in Recycling and Waste Management provide an opportunity to show colleagues, customers and stakeholders that you really are top of your field.

With the sector fast transforming into one of the UK’s most relevant and progressive industries, the 2015 Awards for Excellence will value leadership and best practice from all aspects of the sustainable resource management arena.

Industry, local authorities and community groups will be competing for the prestigious awards, which recognise brilliance in individual success stories, outstanding team efforts and original approaches to sustainable resource management.

letsrecycle.com editor, Steve Eminton, said: “Last year saw an unprecedented number of high quality entries, with fantastic examples of work being undertaken by individuals and within companies to contribute to global sustainability. I am confident that the 2015 entries will reach even higher standards of creativity, effectiveness and innovation. The Awards Ceremony really is a ‘must attend’ event, which never fails to inspire, and offers a fantastic chance for networking and sharing best practice.

“Start planning your submission early to make sure it’s as strong as can be. Judges will be looking for inspirational work with proven results, projects that transform on a local or global level, and teams that go above and beyond to deliver exceptional service.”

Now in its 12th year, the Awards, which are organised by the Environment Media Group, are free to enter. Last year’s new award – Circular Economy Success – was a great hit and is sure to attract a host of fascinating entries for 2015.
