Recycling and Resource Efficiency

Recycling Hubs have been installed in central locations in all of BGL's UK sites to make recycling at work easier and more convenient for our staff. The hubs include special collection points for paper, mixed recyclable items and non-recyclable waste and are already proving very popular.

In addition BGL Group also recycles the following items:

• Toner and ink cartridges
• Cooking oil
• Electronic equipment
• Fluorescent tubes

 

BGL Group is also undergoing a major reburbishment of the heating and cooling system at its head office in Peterborough, which should make it more efficient and cut CO2 emissions by 20%. The controls have also been upgraded to enable better management of the system through zoning, eradicating sporadic heating and/or cooling and enabling faults to be identified more swiftly. The combination of more efficient controls and equipment will help to significantly reduce the carbon footprint and energy costs of the building.
