EnquireWhat is a Recycling Review?
A recycling review is a comprehensive examination of your business’s recycling practices. It involves analysing the types and amounts of recycling your company generates, how that recycling is handled, and identifying areas where improvements can be made. The goal is to uncover inefficiencies, pinpoint opportunities for cost savings, and enhance overall recycling processes.
During a recycling review, our experts will conduct a site inspection, review disposal records, and analyse waste streams to determine the composition and volume of recycling produced. This thorough assessment provides valuable insights into how recycling is being managed and where changes can be implemented to reduce waste, improve recycling rates, and achieve sustainability goals.
By understanding the specifics of your waste generation and management, a recycling review helps create a tailored strategy that optimises your waste handling processes, ensuring they are efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly.
Why Does My Business Need a Recycling Review?
A recycling review is essential for businesses looking to improve their recycling processes and reach sustainability goals. By conducting a recycling review, you gain a clear understanding of your current recycling streams, allowing you to spot inefficiencies and areas for improvement. This insight helps you develop effective strategies to reduce waste, increase recycling, and lessen environmental impact.
Additionally, a recycling review helps ensure you comply with environmental regulations, avoiding fines and legal issues. Regular audits keep you ahead of regulatory requirements and demonstrate your commitment to sustainability, which can attract eco-conscious customers and partners. Furthermore, a recycling review can uncover opportunities for cost savings by identifying and eliminating inefficiencies in your recycling handling processes, ultimately improving your bottom line.

Here's what a typical recycling review call looks like:
01.
Understanding your recycling throughputs
We’ll start the audit by asking a few key questions - your answers will help us understand your current processes, what’s working for you and what isn’t. If you don't have the information readily available, don't worry – we'll guide you through the process of finding it.
02.
Addressing your business's challenges
Every business has its unique recycling challenges. Whether it's dealing with overflowing polystyrene, posing safety concerns in your warehouse or aiming to cut down on labour expenses, we'll delve into your specific pain points. This part of the audit ensures that we grasp the core issues you're facing.
03.
Tailored Strategies and Machinery Recommendations

What are the benefits of a Recycling Review>
Reduce Collection Costs
A recycling review can help you identify parts of your recycling processes that present opportunities for optimisation – whether that be ways to reduce the amount of time your employees spend on recycling tasks or reducing the number of bins that have to be collected weekly. Finding simple solutions to efficient processes can yield great cost reductions for your business.
Increase Sustainability
Similarly to how a recycling review can identify areas where you can reduce costs, it can identify ways in which you can increase sustainability. This includes finding processes that can be optimised to reduce recycling production in your business or reducing the labour involved in the process, as well as increasing the amount of that waste that is recycled.
Increase Rebates
By baling your recyclable materials – such as cardboard, polystyrene or aluminium, you can sell them to recyclers, thereby creating a new stream of income for your business. A recycling review will help identify opportunities where you can start making money from your recycling by installing balers and/or compactors . If you already have balers installed, there are still recommendations that we can make to help increase your rebates – such as improved segregation.
Reduce Contamination
Recycling contamination can make your entire bale unrecyclable, and therefore, no rebates can be achieved – this is why reducing contamination is so important. A recycling review will help you identify the sources of contamination so that you can clamp down on them quickly. This may include anything from the inefficient sorting of recyclable materials to using the wrong machinery.
Achieve ISO Accreditation
An ISO accreditation means that you’re been audited by a third party who confirmed that your business has demonstrated its ability to meet the latest recycling standards set by the International Standards Organisation. A recycling review can help you identify whether you have the correct recycling processes in place in order to achieve the various ISO accreditations for quality management.
Save Staff Time
Identifying opportunities for automation is another benefit of an audit with Robin. Automating your recycling processes as much as possible will help you reduce the amount of time your staff spend recycling, freeing up more time for them to get on with more important tasks.
