Are You Ready for the 2025 Recycling Laws?

On March 31st, 2025, new regulations requiring businesses to separate their dry recycling and food waste from general waste will come into effect. Is your business prepared?

These laws are designed to reduce environmental impact and support a circular economy. Failure to comply could result in penalties, higher costs, and missed sustainability opportunities. Countrystyle Recycling offers the expertise you need to stay compliant and sustainable.

What Does the New Legislation Require?

Businesses producing more than 5kg of food waste per week, or generating dry recycling materials such as paper, glass, or plastic, must arrange for separate waste collections. This applies to:

  • Glass bottles and jars
  • Metal cans, tins, and foil
  • Plastics like containers and bottles
  • Paper, cardboard, and cartons
  • Food waste

These materials must be segregated to avoid contamination and ensure they can be fully recycled.

Who Needs to Comply?

If your business operates in England and produces food waste or dry recycling, you will be required by law to implement separate collections by March 31st, 2025. This applies to all businesses, including;

    • Restaurants, cafes, and bakeries
    • Pubs and bars
    • Offices, care homes, and schools
    • Hospitals and transport hubs
