How Asda is helping customers to recycle
Customers tell us they want help to recycle – this should be closely linked to packaging composition and Local Authority waste infrastructure
New cross-retailer icon initiative will help to clarify packaging recyclability for customers – more on this later
Asda is reviewing all car park ‘bring banks’ to make it simpler for customers to recycle – more Tetra Pak, better units
Progress to be maintained through recycling champions Engaged with Councils and with local schools National Recycling Week 2008 New materials to upskill colleagues and customers:
— Monthly E-zine— Web resources— ASDA Magazine and ASDA FM— Supported by colleague training systems
