Why 2025 is the Year to Focus on Sustainability
As we move into 2025, sustainability remains a top priority for businesses worldwide. With increasing pressure from stakeholders, consumers and regulatory bodies, companies are setting ambitious Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) objectives. Achieving these goals requires innovative strategies, including responsible waste management and recycling practices.
Avena offers a suite of secure recycling services designed to help organisations reduce waste, recycle more effectively and align with their sustainability targets. Whether it’s confidential document destruction, branded workwear recycling or IT equipment disposal, Avena provides a comprehensive solution to support your green initiatives.
The Role of Secure Recycling in Sustainability Strategies
Secure recycling doesn’t just protect sensitive information; it also plays a vital role in reducing landfill waste, conserving resources and minimising environmental impact. By integrating Avena’s services into your waste management strategy, you can achieve measurable results that contribute to your ESG goals.
Our recycling services deliver higher recycling rates, ensuring more materials are reused rather than discarded. They also protect the environment by reducing the risk of contamination from hazardous substances and demonstrate corporate responsibility by showcasing your commitment to sustainable practices.
Avena’s Secure Recycling Services
Avena offers three specialised services to meet the diverse needs of modern businesses. Here’s how each service can help your company achieve its sustainability goals:
· SECURALL
Secure Destruction of Confidential Documents
Handling confidential documents responsibly is critical for both security and sustainability. Avena’s SECURALL service ensures a recycling stream consisting of high-grade office paper, free from contaminants, low-grade cardboard or newsprint.
This results in a higher percentage of recyclable content compared to general recycling. By prioritising high-quality recycling, less paper ends up in landfill, reducing your company’s environmental footprint.
Integrating SECURALL into your operations not only safeguards sensitive information but also supports a circular economy by turning waste paper into valuable resources.
· SECUREBRAND
Recycling Branded Workwear and Textiles
Discarding branded workwear and textiles poses both security and environmental challenges. Avena’s SECUREBRAND service offers a sustainable solution by implementing three levels of fibre sortation.
Textiles are sorted into categories for respinning into yarn, use as padding material and, for the small amount of non-recyclable residue, generating energy. With our zero waste to landfill policy, every fibre is repurposed, ensuring no waste is sent to landfill.
By choosing SECUREBRAND, your organisation can reduce textile waste while protecting brand integrity.
· SECURETECH
Recycling IT Equipment and Data Storage Media
With the rapid pace of technological advancements, responsibly disposing of outdated IT equipment is more important than ever. Avena’s SECURETECH service ensures irretrievable destruction of digital data, safeguarding your company’s sensitive information.
Reusable components, precious metals and minerals are harvested for recycling, while harmful substances are managed responsibly to prevent environmental contamination.
SECURETECH not only protects your data but also contributes to a cleaner, greener planet by diverting e-waste from landfills.
