A recent study by Recycle Now, the national recycle campaign for England, has shown a surge of recycling in the UK since lockdown.
Nine out of 10 households said they recycle regularly, and a huge 73% said they would like to make changes to their lifestyle in order to help the environment.
The increase is having an effect on recycling companies across the country – with many struggling to keep up with demand.
Staff absences have also been blamed on the virus, with contaminated rubbish a big concern, along with self-isolating laws.
With limited employees, it is important not to let safety standards slip. This can result in accidents increasing in the workplace.
It is important that your business has the correct recycling insurance in place if any problems were to occur.
