As December rolls in, bringing festive cheer and colder weather, it's a perfect time to reflect on how 
we can reduce waste and make our holidays more sustainable. At Quantum Waste, we're here to 
help businesses and communities embrace greener practices during this season of giving and 
celebration.

Holiday Waste Facts You Should Know
The UK produces an additional 30% more waste during the festive period. That’s millions of extra 
tonnes of rubbish! 
Wrapping paper, packaging, and single-use decorations contribute significantly to landfill waste, 
with much of it being non-recyclable.

*How Can Businesses Reduce Their Holiday Footprint?
Choose Recyclable Materials: Opt for eco-friendly wrapping and packaging. Avoid glitter and 
metallic finishes, as these are not recyclable.
Plan Sustainable Parties: Use reusable or compostable cutlery and decorations for office 
celebrations.
Review Your Waste Management: If your business generates more waste during December, consider 
scheduling additional collections to manage it effectively.

*Quantum Waste’s Role This Festive Season
We’re committed to keeping your waste under control while helping you meet your sustainability 
goals. Whether it’s managing increased waste streams or ensuring materials are recycled responsibly, we’ve got you covered.

Our tailored collection services make it easy for you to stay compliant with regulations and protect

*Don’t Forget: Food Waste Matters
With many businesses hosting holiday dinners and parties, food waste becomes a significant issue. 
Quantum Waste sends food waste to biogas facilities, ensuring it’s turned into clean energy instead 
of going to landfill.

*Tips for a Greener December
Encourage employees to recycle properly by placing clear signage on bins.
Donate unused items or surplus stock to charities or community projects.
Review your company’s waste habits and set goals for a greener 2025.

December doesn’t have to mean more waste. Together, we can create a cleaner, greener holiday 
season. Contact Quantum Waste today to adjust your collection schedule or learn more about how
