On this Anti-Slavery Day, we want to highlight the hidden crime of Modern Slavery. With around 50 million people still trapped in this terrible situation globally, it's crucial to take action.   At Biffa, we have a zero-tolerance approach to Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking. As part of our commitment to combat Modern Slavery, this year we commissioned the Slave-Free Alliance to benchmark our practices and develop a continuous improvement action plan.   Join us this Anti-Slavery Day by connecting with your colleagues, suppliers, and customers and discussing how we can all make a difference. #HumanTraffickingAwareness #ModernSlavery #AntiSlaveryDay

This Recycle Week, it's important for businesses and organisations to know about four key legislative changes that are on the way: – Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR): Producers will be responsible for their products throughout their entire lifecycle, encouraging better design and recycling. – Simpler Recycling: A standardised approach to waste collection will help make recycling easier and more effective for everyone. – Deposit Return Scheme (DRS): This new scheme aims to reduce litter and increase recycling by giving consumers an incentive to return their beverage containers. – Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs): Stricter rules will be put in place regarding harmful chemicals that can linger in the environment and impact human health. Are you prepared for these changes? Find out who needs to comply and how we can help you get ready: https://bit.ly/3SMFMee

Behind those big red trucks and bins, there’s a lot happening that might surprise you. It all started with the question, “What iff…?” Watch our film and discover more: www.biffa.co.uk/whatiff

On this International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste, we’re proud to spotlight how we’re tackling food waste. Over the past year, through Company Shop Group, we’ve rescued 45,000 tonnes of surplus —equivalent to 108 million meals. That’s enough to feed the entire UK 1.6 times over! We help businesses shift surplus, damaged, or mislabelled stock by repackaging and selling at discounted prices. In doing so, less product was wasted, and more than £47m was paid back to our industry partners for the stock in the last year, supporting a circular system.
