The Comfort Group Sustainability

Office Waste Reduction

In 2018, The Comfort Group made a decision to reduce office waste and removed all individual workstation bins from staff desks. The wastepaper bins were replaced by small ‘Friendlypak’ mini desktop bins made from recycled cardboard and plastic liners. The results of this small change were astounding. Staff adapted very rapidly, and within weeks, the landfill created within the office was reduced by up to 90%. This couldn't have been achieved without the commitment of our staff. Staff are now in the habit of sorting any waste from these mini bins into our recycling or organic waste bins.
