[ News listing ](/insights/insight " News listing") 30 Oct. 2020 ## As Halloween is upon us once more, now is the perfect time to address the sustainability issues that might be terrifying your business and giving you sleepless nights. Let us provide the treats to counteract the tricks... ### Trick You have difficult waste streams that you don't know how to treat. Your product itself might be difficult to recycle, or you have issues with your packaging being generally seen as non-recyclable, i.e. crisp packets or sweet wrappers. ### Treat Veolia's Procycle service can provide a bespoke solution for your business' needs, by finding ways to turn your product or packaging from a landfill item to something which can be recycled. Not only will this improve your environmental impact and image, but it will save you money due to the Extended Producer Responsibility system and the Plastic Tax. ### Trick You have sustainability targets to meet and want to improve your overall environmental impact by closing the loop and utilising your waste streams as a resource. But where do you begin? Meeting sustainability targets whilst keeping costs down can be the stuff of nightmares... ![plastic packaging ](/sites/g/files/dvc1681/files/styles/default/public/image/2023/02/image%20-%202023-02-10T123429.051_1.jpg.webp?itok=AjXnmZt0) ### Treat Veolia can conduct a detailed analysis of your waste streams, auditing exactly what they're made up of and how much waste you're producing. Using our extensive experience and knowledge, we can then create a bespoke solution for your waste, either turning it into new products and closing the loop for your business, or finding a new recycling route to divert waste from landfill - all whilst ensuring the solution is cost-effective. ### Trick You want to make your packaging more sustainable, in preparation for the Plastic Packaging Tax, to do your part in a green recovery and to improve your environmental performance. Plus with more and more brands making pledges to improve their packaging's environmental footprint, you don't want to get left behind in the eyes of consumers. ### Treat This is where Veolia's Sustainable Packaging Academy can help.
