Positive environment impact

Of course, our business already delivers environmental benefits through our unique waste segregation methods. However, we have far more ambitious plans to accelerate our progress through a range of initiatives aimed at significantly reducing the overall environmental impact of our operations.

A range of initiatives

Currently, 70% of our fleet consists of low-emission 3.5-tonne vans, and we are transitioning to a fully electric fleet by 2028, with EVs being phased in starting in 2025.

We’ve also invested in an energy efficiency assessment, identifying opportunities such as lighting upgrades and potential solar panel installation - projected to save £36,774 annually and reduce emissions by 13.8 tonnes of CO₂e.

We partner with Planet Mark to measure our environmental impact

Social values

Over the past three years, Change Waste Recycling has donated £176,000 to charities such as The Samaritans, Macmillan, and Social Bite.

We’re also proud of our team members who regularly organise and participate in charitable and community-focused events - many of which we support through donation matching and other contributions.

Partnering social bite

One cause especially close to our hearts is Social Bite - a national charity tackling homelessness and making a real difference in Scotland and beyond. Over the past three years, we’ve donated and raised over £60,000 to support their incredible work.
