Simpler Recycling is a new UK government initiative designed to make recycling easier and more effective. Coming into effect on 31st March 2025, the legislation introduces mandatory recycling requirements for businesses, schools, public sector organisations, and charities across England.

Under Simpler Recycling, organisations with 10 or more full-time equivalent employees (FTEs) must separate key recyclable materials—including plastic, paper and card, glass, metal, and food waste—keeping them out of general waste bins.

Clear, consistent signage is a cost-effective way for businesses, schools, and other institutions to stay compliant while streamlining waste management.
