Recresco Achieves Operational Carbon Neutrality
UK glass recycling company Recresco has successfully achieved operational carbon neutrality making it the first UK based glass recycling company to gain certification.
The accomplishment comes following a detailed process to establish the full carbon footprint of business operations, followed by a targeted campaign to identify suitable means for balancing that impact. Certification covers its Scope 1, 2 and operational Scope 3 emissions (water supply, waste generated, business travel, employees commuting emissions) in accordance with PAS 2060.
Working closely with carbon and sustainability experts Redshaw Advisors, and using the Larimar Wind Farm Project, Dominican Republic, and Evergreen Amazon REDD+ project, both from Verra registry, Recresco has successfully compensated the equivalent of its total operational carbon footprint, placing it in an operational carbon neutral position.
Project Lead and Recresco Executive Assistant Melanie Mason said: “This achievement is the result of a long term focussed effort by our business to address our environmental impact while strengthening the company for the future. We have aligned our business objectives with our environmental goals, placing sustainability and resilience at the heart of everything that we do.”
