I attended the "Towards Zero Waste" event held by Brighton and Hove Hotels Association yesterday.

Mark Jones, the chair, is offering a well-thought-out opportunity for local hotels to get ahead of the game and organise their recycling before new legislation comes into force.

Because their partner, Magpie, is a cooperative and not just for profit, it is also prepared to take items that other recycling companies won't take, such as Tetrapaks, used napkins, and tin foil.

I hope this proposal will enable all hotels in Brighton to complete the environmental circle and lead the way for the rest of the UK.

For more details, see the Argus article headlined: Hotels launch scheme to turn waste into compost.
