Recycling Lives proves that social value and commercial success go hand in hand. An industry leading commercial recycler and waste management company, we support and sustain a range of charitable activities through our business operations.
Creating measurable social value and supporting social and environmental sustainability, Recycling Lives’ unique business model aims to change the way that business is done.
When you choose a business incubator with Recycling Lives, you are also supporting Recycling Lives charitable activities:
Recycling Lives has created a total of £28.3m Social Value between 2015 and 2018 through our charitable activities. Operating in 11 prisons across the UK, our HMP Academies work with 250 men and women, rehabilitating 92 out of 96 prison leavers in 2018/19. This less than 5% reoffending rate compares with the national average of around 67%.
Since its launch in late 2015, our Food Redistribution Centre has distributed 3.2million meals to disadvantaged groups, diverting thousands of tonnes of food from landfill in the process.
Our Residential Charity supported 27 individuals into permanent jobs and their own homes between 2015 and 2019.
These figures save the taxpayer money by relieving pressure on public resources like the judicial system, medical and healthcare services and the benefits system. By using our business incubators your business supports continued savings to the public purse.
Our work is doing more than just changing lives for individuals, families and communities - between 2015 and 2018 it has created huge savings for society by reducing costs to the taxpayer and creating social value worth millions of pounds.
Our bespoke customer portal can be tailored to your business needs. After we’ve assessed your waste streams, we’ll ensure the portal is responsive to making collection requests, viewing the recycling process and tracking recycle rates.
