Together, with Grundon, we are pleased to have achieved impressive recycling results – in 2024, 77% of ILG’s waste was recycled – thanks to an ongoing series of initiatives including installing soft polythene balers, a new food waste service and more compactors. The waste we recycled in 2024 generated 121.30MWh of power, saved 100.991kg of CO2 and was equivalent to saving 426 trees.
Our 2024 recycling statistics:
- Every week, an average of 8 tonnes of cardboard and 400kg of plastic are baled for recycling
- In 2024, ILG baled 22.3 tonnes of soft plastics – we are targeting 26 tonnes for 2025
- In 2024, ILG baled 419.85 tonnes of cardboard – we are targeting 500 tonnes for 2025
Having worked with Grundon for almost a decade, they have played a key part in supporting our Zero-By-30 goals and as we continue to grow and expand, Grundon will continue to provide waste management services for ILG.
Helen Nichols, Facilities, Environmental and Sustainability Manager, ILG says:
“For us, it’s all about making waste fun so it becomes part of their daily DNA and staff don’t see it as a chore. We have games, competitions and activities, and Grundon is very good at helping us get the message across. We also promote Recycle Week and Liam (Nelmes) from Grundon will visit our sites, often with a colleague, to support our waste awareness days and roadshows to show what can and can’t be recycled – and why – so we can all become more informed.”
Liam Nelmes, Grundon says:
“ILG’s recycling rates are amazing and are testament to their ethos and the passion of the whole team to get waste management right. The company’s continued growth brings an ever-increasing variety of materials to deal with, and we are constantly looking at new ways to recycle or reprocess, as we have done with waste streams such as food and soft polythene.
We work really closely together and I look forward to continuing to push the recycling figures even higher as we look to achieve even greater success.”
