November was a busy month for sustainability programme activity. We are absolutely delighted to announce that two programmes supported by BCME: MetalMatters, the programme aimed at improving metal recycling rates from the home, and Every Can Counts, aimed at increasing recycling rates out of the home, were named as finalists in the CIWM Awards for Environmental Excellence. At the awards ceremony itself MetalMatters was named the winner of the Communications Campaign category and Every Can Counts was a runner up in the Innovative Practice in Resource Recovery and Waste Management category. Recognition from such a prestigious organisation is a fantastic achievement for both programmes and will help push the programmes even further in 2012.
