ABOUT RECYCLING 

Recycling has two significant impacts on the global environment. Firstly, the use of recycled materials reduces the consumption of the world's natural resources. Secondly, recycling waste avoids over-use of dumps and landfill sites thus reducing the level of potential pollution or contamination.

These benefits are clearly issues for future global security and well-being. Today's businesses want to see instant benefit. At Glade Group, we believe that recycling office waste can lead to instant benefits.

Current Waste Removal Costs
Most businesses will already have contractors that collect waste on a regular basis. There may even be more than one contractor if specialist providers are used for areas such as confidential waste. In changing the collection of most waste to a recycling service, costs will usually be lower as the recycler can subsidise their charge with the sale of the recycled waste.

Future Waste Removal Costs
The majority of today's waste ends up in landfill sites. Available landfill sites within the UK are becoming scarcer all the time, with some estimating that they will be full within a few years. In addition, the European Landfill Directive is likely to be implemented soon within the UK. When this happens, the use of landfill sites is likely to be restricted to hazardous waste. Non-hazardous waste will have to be disposed through another process. These factors can only lead to increased costs. Recycling therefore becomes the most cost effective option.

Current Purchasing Costs
The benefits above apply to the recycling of laser cartridges. There is a further benefit with these in that you can purchase recycled cartridges directly from us. These are significantly lower in cost than new items yet are guaranteed to be of the same quality.

Company Image
In today's business world, a company's image is one of its most important assets. A company with a positive environmental profile will attract quality customers, employees, and suppliers. Recycling is a key contributor to a positive environmental profile.

Regulation
There is significant external pressure to demonstrate effective environmental practice. This pressure comes from investors, lenders, customers and consumer groups. It is also likely that within a few years, there will be statutory requirements in place making businesses of a certain size adopt processes such as waste recycling. In providing recycling services to your business, Glade Group hopes to give you a competitive edge over rivals.
