The Zero Waste Awards’ organisers said: “The overall objective of the scheme is to build a community of sustainable businesses, providing a platform for recipients to collaborate and work together to reduce their environmental impact.”
The recipients of 2021 Zero Waste Awards will be recognised and given a chance to network with their industry peers at a lunch held in the coming November.
