Royal Opera House's environmental policy states their commitment to zero-to-landfill so they needed a waste provider who could deliver this on their behalf.
The theatre was also keen to monitor and increase sustainability through recycling but required a strategic partner to help put this into action.
First Mile's Solution
First Mile first completed two waste audits to identify the primary waste types produced at the theatre by visitors and back-of-house staff.
Once we gained a better understanding of their waste, First Mile introduced 10 new waste streams to suit their needs. This included compostable packaging recycling and flexible plastics to reduce contamination of mixed recycling, improve recycling rates and correct waste segregation.
