WHY SHOULD YOU RECYCLE?
SMI’s Waste:
Waste management is a common practice
across society; monitoring and paying
attention to the volume of waste generated
within households, businesses, and public
areas has become a hot topic as the longlasting impact of waste on land昀椀lls has
become more and more of a concern. Modernday responsible recycling and recovery is a key
focus at SMI, following our adopted approach
to waste as we are committed to a zero-toland昀椀ll approach to our waste.
• The head o昀케ce generates General waste
(Mixed Municipal Waste) and Dry Mixed
recycling.
• Kites Croft generates additional waste,
including cardboard and textiles.
Supporting our customers to safely and
securely recycle, recover or repurpose their
purchased products is a big step towards
lowering our scope three emissions. Looking
at our carbon footprint calculations for our
2022 emissions end, the end-of-life treatment
of our products contributed towards 15.7%
of our total emissions. As our internal Waste
Management system continues to strengthen
and our Recycling Schemes grow, it will help
SMI achieve our scope reduction goals and
carbon target to lower our footprint by 45%
by 2030.
SMI’s waste can be broken down into the
waste either of our sites generates, and we are
looking at how our customers dispose of our
products once they reach the end of their
life cycle.
“We are committed to a zero-toland昀椀ll approach to our waste.”
