· World · BBC News
Only 61% of employees in Wales recycle frequently at work, significantly lower than the 94% who report recycling at home. A survey by the charity Wrap indicates that one in five workers cannot recall seeing recycling facilities at their office. To improve compliance, some businesses have removed individual desk bins in favour of centralized recycling stations. Recruitment firm Acorn by Synergie reported a major reduction in waste after implementing this change at their Newport office.
