Our unique approach to waste and resource management is simply smarter. With new intelligence and insights, we help our 1,000-plus UK member companies keep a step ahead. Our market-leading integrated services span sustainable strategy, waste, compliance and intelligent reporting We opened our doors as Budget Pack back in 2003, with a mission to shake up packaging compliance in the UK. Our founder Steve Clark saw the opportunity because companies with packaging compliance obligations to fulfil weren’t being well served in the marketplace. By offering flexibility and transparency to companies while the rest of the industry was being less than helpful, the company soon got established. Since then, things have moved on but our founding principle, to stay ahead of the curve for our clients while keeping to our values, still drives everything. Today ecosurety is one of the UK’s fastest-growing waste management and waste compliance businesses, with over 1,000 clients and big plans to continue driving change and progress that moves manufacturing and production away from wasteful practices and towards a circular economy. From the start our aim has been to reduce the pressure on primary raw materials, which causes huge social and environmental impacts. Increasingly we do this by working across the whole product cycle, from design to disposal, and encouraging greater capture and recycling of waste. It’s an exciting journey for us and our member companies. Back in 2002, when the business was being developed, the world was different. The concept of lightweighting of packaging hadn_t arrived, and not much thought had been given to what happened to products at end-of-life. Only 12% of household waste was being recycled, compared with today_s mid-40% figures _ and the next target is 70%. We also understand how the world’s necessary move towards a circular economy isn’t just being achieved by hard work but also by innovation. That’s where our own work on intelligent reporting and a fully sustainable strategy for our member companies happily sits.
