Enthusiasm
Steve Eminton, editor of letsrecycle.com said: “The ingenuity and enthusiasm across the entries this year are helping to keep recycling rates up in what are particularly times for the public sector. Plus, it was also great to see businesses more than ever recognising the benefits that good practice in waste management can bring.
“I look forward to meeting the finalists on 18 May and I would say to all those who weren’t shortlisted that you too are doing amazing work, it was as tricky as ever to choose shortlists. Thank you too to all the judges for their hard work and studious approach to the judging process.”
