Free to collect

Why is it that at home my waste paper is collected but there is no incentive for businesses to recycle? I stand to be corrected but... as far as i am aware we would have to pay for any collection of paper to be recycled. As our waste collection is included in a 'service fee' at our premises it is not beneficial even to recycle.

My ex employers (Flybe), are on a real Eco mission at the moment, I don't know how they set it up but having done an Eco friendly audit of all departments they now have in place all recycling of waste paper and also all the disposable drinking cups from the vending machines etc.

All their aircraft have Eco labelling, their aircraft have some of the lowest emissions going, they are investing in a Carbon Offset and Emission trading schemes.


Now I don't believe for a minute they have done this because of a conscience so they must be benefiting financial.
