Prestigious green award for Continuum Recycling

Continuum Recycling – ECO Plastics’ joint venture with Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) – has been recognised at the Green Business Awards 2012.
Sam Richardson, representing ECO Plastics, and CCE’s Patrick McGuirk accepted the Partnership Award given in recognition of Continuum’s impact on the domestic recycling sector, as well as for the partnership’s ongoing engagement with supply chains, customers and employees.

“The Green Business Awards is one of the most prestigious awards in the environmental sector, so ECO Plastics are honoured to have been recognised,” says Jonathan Short, Managing Director of ECO Plastics. “It’s fantastic to see the industry acknowledge the dedication and hard work put into this project. UK sustainable packaging has huge growth potential and we hope Continuum will provide a blueprint for similar projects in this sector.”

Adds Patrick McGuirk, recycling director at Coca-Cola Enterprises: “We were absolutely delighted to accept this prestigious accolade alongside ECO Plastics. Continuum Recycling is a first for the industry and the award underlines the significant achievement in bringing this initiative together. At CCE we are serious about setting the industry standard for sustainable packaging, and Continuum represents a crucial part of our ongoing efforts to build a low-carbon, zero waste business here in Great Britain.”
