Birmingham has ‘can do’ attitude for workplace recycling.
Birmingham has been specially chosen as the city to launch a new ‘Every Can Counts’ scheme that encourages workers to recycle used drink cans.
This new campaign headed by Advantage West Midlands (www.advantagewm.co.uk) will see Birmingham at the forefront of recycling in national workplace recycling throughout the UK.
Businesses and workplaces throughout the city will be encouraged to recycle used drink cans in the new ‘Every Can Counts’ campaign through posters and screensavers along with special collection bins introduced into the workplace.
Tim Baldwin of Advantage West Midlands commented on the new scheme to The Birmingham Mail,
” We want Birmingham to lead the way in workplace recycling. Businesses can cut their waste management costs and their CO2 emissions by encouraging staff to recycle drinks cans. ”
The new scheme, which is partially funded by major drink can manufacturers, hopes to do it’s part in saving natural resources and energy through recycling of drink cans in the workplace.

This sounds like an interesting scheme. I hope it will be a scheme that workplaces will use to its fullest advantage.
Will other schemes like this be thought of for other workplace waste products, other than drinks cans?
