Recycling Waste<br />

At Bunzl CHS, we have been constantly<br />

reviewing the impact of our waste sent<br />

to landfill.<br />

In 2006 we invested in bailers at most of our<br />

branches, to compact the cardboard and plastic<br />

waste which is now diverted to be recycled.<br />

We then focused on our paper usage which<br />

included a reduction in paper consumption<br />

through print, reusing where possible and<br />

recycling.<br />

We are currently working with major UK paper<br />

towel manufacturers to recycle our customers’<br />

waste paper back into the supply chain.<br />

The recycled paper is reprocessed and recycled<br />

into hand towel products that we sell back to our<br />

customers.<br />
