Wiser Recycling has won a Green Apple Award for Environmental Best Practice 2016 in the Green Organisation’s annual campaign to find the greenest companies, councils and communities.
Competing against over 500 nominations, we won our award for our innovative approach and investment in process equipment for small electrical appliances, which broadened our capabilities in WEEE treatment.
Wiser Recycling was presented with a trophy and certificate at a ceremony in the Houses of Parliament, London on Friday.
The Green Apple Awards began in 1994 and have become established as the country’s major recognition for environmental endeavour among companies, councils, communities and countries. The awards are organised by The Green Organisation, an international, independent, non-political, non-profit environment group dedicated to recognising, rewarding and promoting environmental best practice around the world.
Russell Hirst, Managing Director says: “We are delighted to have won this award and be recognised for our forward-thinking approach to innovation and sustainable development.”
The Green Apple Awards are supported by the Environment Agency, the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health, the Chartered Institution for Wastes Management and other independent bodies.
This award win comes on the back of Wiser being a finalist in the MRW Awards for Excellence earlier this year.
