Team activities for Recycling Week.
16th-22nd October 2023
Here are some top ideas to celebrate recycling week with your team! If you want to promote recycling and reusing at your company, choose a virtual experience or office activity for your team to enjoy and learn from. Recycling and sustainability are vital for corporates due to environmental protection, waste reduction, and cost savings. By conserving resources and reducing waste, companies lower their ecological footprint and greenhouse gas emissions. Embracing these practices enhances a company's brand image, attracting eco-conscious customers and investors, leading to a competitive advantage. Making sure you are taking the time to revert to sustainable practices ensures a greater employee engagement as individuals become more environmentally conscious - it’s not cool to waste! In sum, recycling and sustainability are no longer optional but essential for responsible and successful corporate operations.
Therefore, why not support Recycling Week (14th-22nd October)? This can start a message of reducing waste within your company and show your employees your stance on environmental protection. As well as implementing recycling initiatives and a sustainability plan, it’s important to make sure your team socials and team building activities are also following suit. Therefore, we have put together our virtual and in-person experiences that can help you to recycle materials and also teaches employees techniques to up-cycle and therefore limit their waste.
