Best Commitment to Change Business Practice Award
Sometimes radical change of tried and tested working practice is needed to implement and improve new and existing recycling initiatives. This award seeks to highlight customers that have been prepared to take on and develop new business practice in the interest of maximising the recyclate harvested from their waste stream.
Next Retail Ltd (Category Winner)
Marks and Spencer
Pindar Plc
The Landfill Diversion Award
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle is the mantra. However, not all materials can be recycled or even reused. Are we to confine these streams to landfill then? If we are to move forward in our goal of maximum diversion from landfill then special attention has to be given to waste arisings that cannot easily be recycled. These could be streams directly not suitable for recycling, or materials that are contaminated to such a degree that recycling is not a realistic option. This new award seeks to recognise Severnside business partners who have significantly contributed to the landfill alternatives available to our customers
Waste Recycling Group
Orchid Environmental Ltd (Category Winner)
JWS Waste & Recycling Services Ltd
The Retail Recycling Initiative Award
The retail sector deserves specific focus with regards to waste management and recycling for two reasons; Firstly, the sector produces significant waste from its activities so organisations that ensure diversion from landfill, potentially over thousands of sites, deserve recognition. Secondly, and uniquely, retailers can also potentially ‘Create’ significant quantities of waste by the nature of the packaging around the goods they sell. This award seeks to award retailers who see both these issues equally and have worked to minimise the impacts of these wastes, particularly through staff and customer involvement and innovation.
Tesco (Category Winner)
Mothercare
Arcadia Group Ltd
Wm Morrison Supermarkets Plc
The SME Recycling Success Award
So often, awards ceremonies will pay due attention only to the accomplishments of their larger, national customers; this is not the case with Severnside! Traditionally, it has been seen as notoriously more difficult for small to medium organisations to be successful in reducing waste to landfill and excelling in recycling and recovery processes. Segregation at site processes and volume of material have all been limitations faced by SME’s in the recent past. This new award highlights the successes of small to medium sized organisations in terms of their recycling achievements through Severnside’s innovations to make recycling and recovery far more accessible to all organisations whether large or small.
Coachman Caravans Ltd
Wiles Greenworld (Category Winner)
Littlehampton Book Services Ltd
The Recycling Partnership Award
As environmental legislation becomes more demanding, more and more organisations are exploring different projects to increase the amount of recyclate they can divert from landfill. Experience has shown that involving larger groups of stakeholders in sustainable waste management initiatives positively impacts on our environment. Larger stake holder groups may be organisational employees (such as focus groups), special interest groups, and the wider community as a whole. This award aims to reward the initiative behind such projects.
Reigate & Banstead Borough Council (Category Winner)
Cardiff County Council Waste Management
Tesco
The Sustainable Environment Award
Most environmental and economic benefits are achieved when organisations adopt a holistic approach to their waste management practices including a strategic view on the full life cycle of the material from purchase to disposal. This new award seeks to identify those customers who have achieved, or are working towards achieving, sustainability in all aspects of their environmental impact.

St Austell Brewery Co Ltd
