Recyling Lives Main Logo

The Recycling Lives logo - 3 matchstick men

The images of 3 matchstick men are delivered in a simple brushstroke design, representing the true spirit of the Recycling Lives movement and capture the ethos behind helping to create inspiration and self-confidence. In using simple graphical characters, the reflection that Recycling Lives does not prejudice against gender, ethnicity or social status is emphasised.



The first character represents the image of a person in need. There are many reasons that things can go wrong in life and not all problems germinate from childhood. Tragedy, personal trauma and even simple bad luck can often bring a person to their knees, leaving them with no one to turn to and no place to go.

 

The second character represents an established member of the Recycling Lives community that has benefitted from support and pastoral care and true employment opportunity. The importance of the second character is clear in that they themselves become an inspiration to others, never forgetting what desperation can feel like. Offering a hand to others, they themselves now form part of the Recycling Lives movement.

 


The third character represents the established employees, back on their feet and providing the support necessary to expand the Recycling Lives concept across the UK and beyond.

Recycling Lives offers good Corporate Social Responsibility.

Recycling Lives operates nationally to provide a wide range of recycling activities to Local Authorities, commercial organisations and the public. Recycling Lives provides housing, training and long term employment in the recycling sector, to people who would otherwise be homeless; including ex-armed forces personnel, probation and those from chaotic backgrounds.

Each Recycling Lives centre provides up to 48 quality en-suite rooms; training and office facilities; incubator units for entrepreneurs in social enterprise; industrial space for our recycling processes and retail space to sell good manufactured by Recycling Lives from recycled waste.

We do not ask for, or rely on 'gifts' from you, as we always pay fair prices for scrap metal recycling, plastic and other recyclables. By selling your waste to Recycling Lives your organisation helps us to be sustainable and you to show good corporate social responsibility.

Our social enterprise 'manages' good Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on your behalf, by ensuring that our recycling activities are carried out by employees that would otherwise be marginalised or even forgotten by society.
