Our Commitment to Recycling: Doing More for the Planet
At RDO, we believe that taking care of our planet is just as important as taking care of our staff and customers. Our strong commitment to "Doing the right thing" is reflected in every aspect of our business, from providing outstanding customer service to reducing our carbon footprint. We continuously seek new ways to minimise waste, conserve energy, and improve efficiency—not just for today, but for future generations.
New Compactors for Greener Recycling!
We're excited to announce that we've made some major upgrades in our recycling operations, with the addition of our new, cutting-edge compactors. These machines allow us to handle any cardboard, plastic, and polystyrene waste in an even more efficient and eco-friendly way! This is part of our ongoing mission to ensure that the waste we generate doesn’t contribute to landfill, but instead gets recycled and repurposed whenever possible.
These upgrades wouldn’t have been possible without the support of The Pearce Group, our trusted partner in sustainability. They provide a seamless service—from supply to maintenance—ensuring that every stage integrates perfectly with our recycling responsibilities. Thanks to their expertise, our equipment operates at peak efficiency, helping us to manage waste more effectively while continuing to reduce our environmental impact.
But that's not all!
We’re also proud to be offering free packaging removal and disposal for our customers. Yes, you read right! We've provided this service for years to ensure that all waste is responsibly disposed of, taking the hassle of recycling away from our customers. Whether it's cardboard boxes, plastic wrap, or foam packaging, we’ll collect it and process it, so you can rest easy knowing it won’t end up harming the environment.
Why does this matter?
Well, did you know that the UK produces around 9.9 million tonnes of packaging waste every year? By offering this service, we’re helping to prevent some of that waste from reaching landfill, supporting the wider goal of reducing the UK’s overall waste footprint. Every small action adds up, and together, we can make a big difference for our planet. So let’s keep it green and recycle smarter, one package at a time.
