Case Study - Nestle Waters

Highly commended Award Winner of 2011 Community Partnership Awards: Environmental Consumer

'Recycle on the Go' Nestlé Waters project in Buxton, Peak District

Nestlé Waters UK launched its Recycle on the Go project in Buxton, Peak District to make it easier for people to recycle out of home and reduce the volume of bottles and cans going to landfill.

The company worked with recycling company Recoup and High Peak Borough Council to develop recycling stations and now has 21 sites throughout the town – a further 15 are planned.

The launch of the sites was backed by an advertising and poster campaign in local media. Local interest has been impressive with 98% of local people supporting the scheme.

During the eight month pilot phase of the project, 1,440 kg of recyclates was collected.
