Marston's shows green success

Marston’s has received further recognition for its work on waste reduction across its estate of national pubs.

A collaborative partnership with UK Waste Solutions Ltd began in 2016 with the aim to recycle Marston’s food waste at 80% of its food-led pubs, segregate dry mixed recycling across 80% of the estate, and recycle glass bottles at 95% of pubs.

The project proved to be a success, and Marston’s not only achieved all targets, but also became the first pub group to achieve zero waste to landfill in 2018, two years ahead of the target.

“We are extremely proud to receive recognition for our work and achievements in improving our environmental practices," says Chris White, energy manager at Marston’s. "We continuously review our operations and are fully committed to strive forward and further innovate our waste management.”

Waste segregation is promoted across the entirety of Marston’s pub estate with the help of its 'Wise Up to Waste' staff culture campaign. This includes waste associated e-learning modules that employees have access to as part of their training programme.
