Support for Zero Waste and Low Carbon Strategies for Local Authorities

A 'can-do' approach to managing waste and energy resources...

Remade South East can help local authorities and other public sector organisations to work toward Zero Waste solutions and Carbon Reduction strategies by providing advice and practical support on sustainable resource management.

Remade can help Councils to save waste and energy costs, raise public awareness and introduce schemes and policies to reduce the consumption of natural resources. Through this support, local authorities can improve their environmental performance and demonstrate their commitment to the low carbon agenda.

Remade has provided support services to Kent County Council, Medway Council, Ashford Borough Council, Surrey County Council, East Sussex County Council and Oxford County Council.

Can we now help you to deliver your sustainability agenda?

Remade has assisted Kent County Council to establish bulky waste trials by working with reprocessors to test levels of recyclability in bulky plastics from Household Waste Recycling Centres.

Medway Council Project:

In Medway, Remade helped the Council to establish cardboard recycling throughout the Medway towns through the 'Medwrap' scheme. In addition, surveys and practical business advice have been provided to increase the separation of business waste for recycling at the Medway City Industrial Estate.
