We thank the following organisations for their support.
With paper accounting for as much as 20 per cent of the nation's
domestic waste stream, recycling used newspapers and magazines makes
a major contribution to reducing the growing problems of landfill
and waste disposal. Aylesford Newsprintis jointly owned by SCA Graphic
Paper and Mondi Europe, which have a wealth of experience in quality
paper manufacture. Aylesford's £250 million state-of-the-art
mill uses the latest technology to produce 380,000 tonnes of 100
per cent recycled newsprint every year.
Biffa Waste Services is one of the UK's largest waste management
companies providing environmentally advanced waste recycling, handling
and disposal services for industry, commerce and local government.
Through many areas of its work Biffa makes a considerable contribution
to UK recycling targets. They are part of the national recycling
chain for card, cans, glass, plastics and textiles and operate one
of the country's biggest regional waste recovery schemes reclaiming
6,500 tonnes of potential landfill material a year.

Glass is the trade association for the UK glass industry. One of
its most important tasks is the promotion of glass recycling on

importance of educating the community about the benefits of glass
recycling and has created a whole range of literature that is distributed
free of charge. This includes leaflets, posters, badges, balloons,
statistics and a 10-point glass recycling code.
