Simpler Recycling Legislation – What SMEs in England Need to Know for 2025

If you’re a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) in England, you may already be aware of the new “Simpler Recycling” requirements being introduced in 2025. This legislation is designed to streamline and standardise how businesses manage and separate their waste across the country.

Previously, varying local recycling rules often left business owners uncertain about what could be recycled and how to separate materials. The new legislation eliminates this confusion by introducing a uniform system, regardless of location.

Key Objectives of Simpler Recycling:

  • Standardise waste collection to make recycling clearer and more consistent for businesses.
  • Boost recycling rates by ensuring correct material sorting and reducing contamination.
  • Support the circular economy by increasing access to high-quality recyclable materials within the UK.
  • Allow flexibility in how collections are managed, as long as businesses meet the core requirements.

What Will Be Required?

You may have heard talk of needing up to seven separate bins—but rest assured, this has been simplified. For most workplaces, the default requirement involves just four containers:

  • General waste (non-recyclable)
  • Food waste
  • Glass waste
  • Dry mixed recyclables (including plastic, paper, cardboard, and small metal items)
