LEON's London Jack goes recycling

Come on a Recycle Week journey 

In January this year, before the UK went into lockdown, our valued customer, LEON Restaurants asked us if they could learn more about the steps involved to recycle the items from their in-store recycling bins. They sent us Jack Burke aka London Jack, and we took him on the full journey!

This Recycle Weekcheck out the two-part Leon video series below, and see what London Jack learnt about recycling

Our Chief Innovation and Technology Officer, Richard Kirkman, shows Jack the high-tech machinery we use at two of Veolia's industry leading recycling facilities; the Southwark Integrated Waste Management Facility and the Dagenham Plastic Recovery Facility.
