If any of the 10,000 visitors we get to our website each month read this blog the one consistency you should probably find is a searing honesty about how we run our business, what we feel about the way our industry is heading and our thoughts and opinions on each of our roles in getting there. This is as much a strategic decision as much as simply not being able to help ourselves; speaking my mind in particular is something that has won me praise and criticism in almost equal regard but I have certainly derived more benefit from the the praise and even learned from the criticism so I don’t expect to change anytime soon!

Without sounding like too much of a cliche we don’t like to print things unnecessarily and sending Christmas Cards is surely one of them. According to Wikipedia over 1.9 billion (count em) sent in the US in 2005 alone.

I’m absolutely delighted to announce that as of 1st December 2009 the green house has begun working with retailer The Carphone Warehouse in the UK, starting with the implementation of a ZERO Waste to Landfill system at their Head Office in Acton, London. We have rolled out a complete management system including the operation of daily services, marketing and education and providing business intelligence on performance of the recycling systems.

This is the question I ask myself on a daily basis. I’ve known for some time that being solely focused on waste and recycling is only part of the picture and whilst I will always be thankful for the opportunities I’ve personally had to grow a business off the back of that industry I’m keen to move the green house forwards and into pastures new.
