“Since The Recycling Factory began, we have raised over £2 million pounds for UK charities.” John Studholme
Managing Director
The Recycling Factory has a wealth of experience working with businesses & charities; large and small. Registered in the UK, we specialise in the
recycling of used inkjet and toner cartridges, mobile phones and small electronic gadgets.
On average, 700,000 items are recycled by The Recycling Factory each month. Items are recycled within the UK, ensuring that our carbon
footprint is kept to a minimum.
We offer a no obligation, zero cost, transparent and ethical solution to recycling, by providing you with all of the materials that you will require
to initiate a recycling scheme. As well as helping to save the environment, you will also be able to raise funds for your charity for each item that
we can successfully recycle.
The Recycling Factory works closely with all its partners to identify their specific needs. Our charity programs continue to be some of the
most successful in the recycling industry; we work in partnership with the NSPCC Childline, RSPCA, RNLI, British Heart Foundation, MS Society,
Mencap and Sense, as well as corporate sponsorship recycling on behalf of Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda, PC World and Wilkinsons.
Working closely with our partners to increase social awareness and the importance of recycling to achieve zero landfill, The Recycling Factory
recycle for over 30,000 charities, businesses, volunteer groups and individuals.
We recognise every customer as an individual and therefore offer to tailor our recycling programs to meet their needs. Whatever the size of your
charity or organisation, The Recycling Factory can offer a unique, customised recycling program.

The Recycling Factory has an in-house Graphic Design & IT team and press room which enables us to deliver a first class service to our partners.
Having an on-site team allows us to turn around bespoke requests at short notice and provides us with the flexibility to make the necessary
changes to artwork without further delay. Having worked with high profile charities and retailers, our team understands the importance of your
brand and would work closely with you to ensure that guidelines are met prior to sign off.
The Recycling Factory are able to provide the following marketing materials:
Freepost envelopes; provided in a professional, convenient dispenser with a
personalised header label which displays your charity’s logo & associated information.
Promotional posters; designed by our in-house Graphic Design team and available
in either A4 or A3, these posters can convey your unique marketing message and are a great
way of drawing attention to the recycling scheme & your charity.

Collection boxes
Postcard - front & back
Collection box; available in two sizes (desktop & free standing) and particularly popular
with corporate supporters, collection boxes should be placed in a prominent position to
create awareness of the recycling scheme & maximise its potential. Once full, we provide
either a same or next day collection service to supporters.
Postcards; sent to supporters who request envelopes from us, postcards thank the
supporter for recycling and also provide them with an indication of what their
donation could fund.
What would £200,000 fund?

Marketing supportRecycling website; not only would your charity appear on The Recycling Factory website, we also offer the option of a dedicated
recycling website e.g. www.yourcharitynamehere.co.uk
This site would provide your supporters with more information about your charity, how they can recycle in support of the charity and other
ways in which they can provide help & support. Plus, the latest news & events - this would link directly back to your own website.

We believe that they key to a successful relationship is communication.
A dedicated Account Manager & marketing team would work closely with your charity or business
to explore all available marketing opportunities throughout the partnership. A marketing plan
would be formulated and agreed with the charity.
We carry out regular review calls & meetings to ensure that we remain proactive in our activity and
seize any forthcoming opportunities that may present themselves to us.
Our team has built excellent working relationships with several media contacts which has proved
beneficial when circulating press releases into the public domain. Wherever possible, we use these
sources to capitalise on any news-worthy articles that may generate additional interest and promotion of the partnership.
Service levelsAll personnel whose activities and responsibilities affect not only the quality and the service that we provide but represent our charity and
retail partners, are thoroughly checked to ensure they are qualified on the basis of training, education and / or experience, to ensure that the
individual is able to perform their job satisfactorily. Only trained or experienced personnel are assigned to each job.
Staff regularly receive training which not only enhances their existing strengths but also introduces new skills & techniques. Training reviews are
carried out on a quarterly basis as part of a Management Review.
We see performance appraisals as essential for the effective management and evaluation of staff. Appraisals help develop individuals, improve
organisational performance and feed into our business planning. Formal performance appraisals are conducted annually for all staff in the
organisation. Each staff member is appraised by their line manager & tasked with set goals for the forthcoming year.
Reporting systemsWe continue to invest in our bespoke reporting system. The live tracking function ensures that
we are able to track & control incoming items at any time of the day from anywhere in the
world. The intelligence of this real time system provides our customers with the reassurance that
consignments are dealt with quickly & efficiently, resulting in your account being updated &
credited on a minute by minute basis. So intelligent is the system, it is able to send a confirmation
email for every consignment received.
Financial reports are generated on either a weekly, fortnightly, monthly or quarterly basis;
depending upon your preference. We will tailor the reports to meet your requirements.
For example, we can identify the source of the funds raised so that, if desired,
we may write to your supporters on your behalf to thank them for their help.

What our partners say about us...
Svetlana Kirov Head of Corporate Partnerships, NSPCC ChildLine.
Emma Martin Corporate Partnership Manager, RNLI.
“Our participation in this recycling scheme confirms our commitment to run a charity that is environmentally responsible, and encourages its supporters to be as well.
Working with The Recycling Factory has also added value to our corporate partnerships by providing our partners with more creative and easy ways to raise money for us.
The Recycling Factory’s proactive stance on finding new supporters and distributing materials means that resource within the NSPCC is freed up to work towards our
aim to end all cruelty to children in the UK.”
“The Recycling Factory have a great team with a can-do attitude, who are really fun to work with. We were impressed by their facilities, their
commitment to proactively promoting their partnership with the RNLI and by their commitment to the environment. It was an ideal combination. The partnership has already raised over £400,000, which is an incredible figure and we are enormously grateful. As a charity, we rely
completely on the support of the public and of companies like The Recycling Factory. The partnership has also helped raise awareness of the RNLI as well as helping our supporters lessen
their environmental impact. Internally, it’s also had an effect as our staff and volunteers have really got behind the scheme. This is great for us, as the RNLI is actively
trying to reduce its impact on the environment.”
A free service to your charityThere is no cost to your charity for The Recycling Factory to devise and implement a
customised recycling program and to provide freepost envelopes & associated marketing
materials for your supporters. We offer a very simple payment structure. For every cartridge
and mobile phone that can be successfully recycled, we will make a donation to your
charity.
Competitive donation ratesInkjet & Toner Cartridges There are over 230 inkjet & toner cartridges eligible for donation. Our cartridge list is
reviewed and revised on a monthly basis to ensure that we remain competitive. Donations for cartridges range from 20p to £3.50; the donation
is determined by the make and model of the cartridge.
Mobile PhonesWith almost 700 mobile phones eligible for donation, there are two options available; in both instances the value of the donation is dependent
upon the make and model of the handset and the donation list is reviewed & revised each month:
Fixed donation - a donation of between £5 & £30 per handset
Variable donation - a donation of between £5 & £380 per handset
