Entries included evidence of the levels of recycling achieved and indications that customers have been well-cared for in terms of service delivery, reporting and follow-up of any concerns. The category is also used to distinguish companies that are seen as an example of good practice for the sector or sectors in which it operates.

Entries were received from across the Country and presented to an expert judging panel which consisted of: Jacob Hayler, executive director, Environmental Services Association; Carole Taylor, chair of LARAC; Julia Turner, executive director, Wood Recyclers Association; Robbie Warden, chair of the Resource Association; and Steve Eminton, editor of letsrecycle.com.
