While we’ve set ourselves ambitious targets, we recognise that tackling plastic waste is not a challenge any one organisation or country can do alone. That’s why we’re continuing to play a lead role in changing the way everyone uses plastics, through partnerships with like-minded organisations including our work with Wrap on the UK Plastics Pact as well as working with our peers as one of the founding members of the Flexible Plastics Fund.

The Lincolnshire Waste Partnership (LWP) aims to:
The Lincolnshire Waste Partnership (LWP) aims to:
- Provide innovative, customer-friendly waste management.
- Seek the best environmental options.
- Give value for money to Lincolnshire residents.
- National policy — In December 2018 the Government published its new national waste and resources strategy for England.
- Food waste — The national strategy proposes weekly food waste collections from 2023, in preparation they have been running a trial for food waste collections in South Kesteven to understand the challenges this may bring. They are seeking a sustainable and renewable solution which will be explored over the next few years.
- Plastics — Since the adoption of the Lincolnshire strategy, the world has seen a blaze of interest in plastic waste and how the recycling we collect is handled. Media investigations have challenged waste management practices and raised the profile of accountability and social responsibility.
- Waste crime — The Environment Agency (EA) has an open invitation to LWP meetings providing advice and guidance, the LWP also support the EA in waste crime operations in the county.
- Recycling quality — A separated paper and card collection trial in place from September 2019 with the aim of avoiding any contact with liquids and food, keeping it clean and dry, means they can meet high quality standards of the paper mills who recycle waste paper and card saving vital natural resources. The trial has been a great success and plans are underway to expand collections to more areas in Lincolnshire.
- The wider environment — Driving many miles to collect and dispose of waste increases the carbon footprint for their transport operations so they have worked to optimise routes and are investigating how, in the longer term, they can change to different vehicle fuels to reduce their CO2 emissions.

Morph® is an innovative 100% recycled and recyclable modular construction system which repurposes and reduces plastic waste, encourages long-term investment and supports the circular economy movement.
The idea evolved from concerns about damaging industry behaviours, particularly the throw-away culture in the commercial office furniture and fit-out sectors. Practices widely accepted as the norm, where functional furniture and dilapidations are prematurely discarded to landfill, are having a devastating and long-term impact on the environment and Morph Bricks Ltd wanted to find a solution.
Injection moulded using 100% post consumer recycled ABS plastic, Morph bricks consist of four core components – single brick, double brick, base and top. Lightweight and strong with a uniquely designed male to female connection, the bricks interlock in a staggered brick formation to create multiple designs including walls, desks, tables, video conferencing units, counters, tiered seating and meeting bays. Reusable, every product can be taken apart and rebuilt into a new design. Recyclable, end of life bricks can be recycled into new components without waste.
Complementing the recycled plastic range, we also manufacture Morph Bio bricks made from carbon negative Bio composite material.

Customers of Podback can recycle their used pods through drop-off points in retail stores, at local authority recycling centres as well as Yodel collection locations. Plastic pods are recycled in Yorkshire, and aluminium pods are recycled in Cheshire. The pods are shredded to remove the coffee grounds, which are processed by anaerobic digestion facilities, producing renewable energy (biogas) and soil improver.
Podback member brands represent over 80% of the UK coffee pod market, including Nespresso, NESCAFE Dolce Gusto and Tassimo, major retailers and independent roasters.

With a strong focus on reducing single-use waste and promoting resource efficiency, Circulayo offers innovative solutions that optimize and increase the reuse rate of packaging. Their flagship product, the Flow Platform, serves as a digitalisation hub, enabling the tracking of packaging from cradle to grave. This comprehensive tracking system not only ensures visibility and traceability but also provides valuable analytics on usage, carbon savings, and reduction in single-use waste.
The Flow Platform acts as a catalyst for change by revolutionising the way packaging is managed throughout its lifecycle. It empowers businesses to transition from linear models of production and consumption to circular systems that prioritise resource efficiency and waste reduction. By implementing the Flow Platform, companies can optimise the reuse of packaging, minimise environmental impact, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
To enhance engagement and connectivity between brands and consumers, Circulayo has developed the AppNostic web app. This app enables end consumers to connect with the packaging through scanning QR codes or NFC tags, unblocking a digital realm of information and interactive experiences. Brands, retailers, and stakeholders can leverage the AppNostic app to deliver personalised content, offers, marketing messages, and engagement tools.

Cambridge City Councils fleet of 27 bin lorries have begun operating from Waterbeach depot, where South Cambridgeshire District Councils waste operations are based.
The management teams for the two councils waste operations came together in August saving over £100,000 a year and with the operations now working out of one depot, further efficiencies will be sought to drive down costs.
Cambridge City Councils waste crews and staff had previously operated from a depot on Mill Road which is earmarked for redevelopment in the future.
The single shared waste management team are now working on integrating the bin collection rounds across the two districts in order to make efficiency savings on fuel and vehicles. It is expected the annual savings from the move to a shared waste service will be around £700,000.
Both Councils already take waste and recycling they collect to the processing centres near the Waterbeach depot.

ReVentas’ Dissolution Recycling technology purifies polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) to produce virgin-like plastic that can be used in high-value applications and unlock the value in challenging plastic waste. ReVentas’ unique technology uses a solvent to rapidly dissolve PE and PP, filtering the plastic of all contaminants including colour, multilayers and odour, producing a colourless, ultra-pure plastic which can be sold directly to end customers. The technology operates at low temperatures and pressures, reducing the cost of production and making recycling more economically viable, whilst achieving an 80% reduction in carbon emissions over virgin plastic production. By doing this ReVentas are closing the loop in the circular economy and allowing companies to access new sustainable polyethylene and polypropylene to replace virgin resins at scale.

Bradford Council is a public sector organisation which is responsible for a number of services which benefit people living in the Bradford district. These services include social care, education, housing, highways, planning, environmental protection, libraries, street cleaning, waste collections and swimming pools. There are certain services that we have to deliver by law (for example environmental protection) and some that we choose to deliver because they benefit our residents (for example sports centres and swimming pools). We do not deliver all the services ourselves and often commission other organisations to deliver them on our behalf (for example housing).
