BEYOND NET ZERO, DON’T ‘WASTE’ THE OPPORTUNITY
In recent years, the push to deliver ‘net zero’
has grown remarkably. But is it enough? Not
according to leading London & South East
recycling company Paper Round.
They have launched a brand-new campaign, their
SustainABLE Pathway, which goes beyond a net
zero ambition. A series of ten commitments set out
how the company will actively reduce their carbon
emissions and help their customers with their own
carbon reduction initiatives.
The company’s ten commitments include:
Reducing their carbon emissions, being the UK’s
first waste company focused on the commercial
market, to set Science Based Targets
Committing to be a net zero company by 2030
Innovating and investing in new technologies,
such as using AI in their MRF, to further improve

recycling outcomes
Decarbonising their infrastructure by electrifying
their fleet and continuing to operate clean
energy buildings and equipment
And to help their customers reduce their carbon
emissions, they will:
O er enhanced carbon reporting, allowing
clients to report on their scope 3 waste
emissions, and demonstrate the benefits of
avoided carbon emissions
Bring to market a range of lower carbon recycling
services and circular economy products
As the first campaign of its kind in the waste and
recycling industry, Paper Round hope that their
commitments to carbon reduction will spearhead
change in the industry and encourage businesses to
adopt circular economy principles.
According to a report by Circle Economy, just 8.6
per cent of the global economy is considered circular
– that’s less than 10 per cent of the 100 billion tonnes
of materials extracted for use are re-used or recycled
each year. Each of these materials have their own
carbon stories. This brings recycling and the circular
economy to centre stage.
The waste and recycling industry is unique in that
recycling removes the need for energy intensive
creation of new materials, thereby reducing the
generation of greenhouse gases. These are known as
avoided emissions. For example, paper emits carbon
if it’s burnt, but avoids over half a tonne of CO2e
for each tonne of paper recycled (source: Scottish
Carbon Metric).
Alison Roe, Director of Paper Round commented:
“The need to reduce carbon emissions has never
been greater and recycling is a critical process in
limiting global warming. We have now moved from
our planning to action phase, for example we have
just started to operate London’s first electric RCV
dedicated to commercial clients’ collections. We’re
actively encouraging our clients to not ‘waste’ the
net zero opportunity and take action right away. We
are very excited to be on our SustainABLE Pathway
to go beyond net zero, to a lower carbon and circular
economy future, for our company and our clients.”

FORBO’S SPHERA ENERGETIC: FRESH.
ENERGISING. INNOVATIVE.
Forbo Flooring Systems has launched the second generation of its premium
homogeneous vinyl sheet collection, Sphera Energetic.
Developed by Forbo’s in-house European design team using the latest
technology, the revitalised collection comprises four design families: Uni,
Vivid, Shimmer and Confetti. Uni is a
compendium of 20 trending colours,
which feature transparent chips
throughout the design to create depth,
whilst the bolder, Vivid design is available
in 12 vibrant shades comprising colourful
chips from the Uni design family –
making it easy to seamlessly combine the
two together.
Shimmer and Confetti are two brand
new designs: Shimmer has a modern terrazzo aesthetic thanks to its angular
chips, and – as the name suggests – Confetti is a design that features a mixture of
coloured chips from the entire range, providing a playful, random confetti look.
Although the designs have been refreshed, Sphera Energetic still retains
its impeccable durability characteristics. Thanks to its SMART-top surface
protection, it combines excellent stain and scratch resistant properties, with
superior appearance retention to ensure the floor looks and performs well for the
end users of today and the future.
Forbo’s new Sphera Energetic collection is manufactured using 100 per cent
renewable electricity and with minimal waste, thanks to the company’s e icient
state-of-the-art production process. The collection also has low emissions and is
phthalate free to help contribute to a healthy indoor environment.
