At Veolia, we support 24% of UK educational institutions to make waste management simpler, more cost-effective, and sustainable. And we've seen first-hand what a difference the approach can make.
The challenge schools face
Schools generate significant volumes of waste every day - from cafeteria food waste and classroom recycling to confidential documents and hazardous materials from science labs. Managing all of this compliantly, efficiently, and sustainably is no small task, and increasing legislation, such as Simpler Recycling, only adds to the pressure on school business managers and facilities teams.
What good waste management actually looks like
Schools that review and optimise their waste management can achieve meaningful cost savings through better recycling, reduced waste volumes, and more efficient collections.

Beyond the bin
At Veolia, our commitment to schools goes beyond collections. We're passionate about educating the next generation on recycling, sustainability, and the circular economy - and here are just some of the ways we bring that to life:
Veolia Orchards: Since 2022, we've provided 500 fruit trees to 100 schools, supporting biodiversity, outdoor learning, and student wellbeing.
Wonder Days: We offer pupils educational visits to our facilities, showing them the complete waste journey and demonstrating the real-world impact of sustainable practices.
