Waste & Recycling
80 years in the recycling business
Many people think recycling is a relatively modern phenomenon, but one Hertfordshire-based firm has recently celebrated 80 years in the business.
CS Recycling was originally founded in 1937 as Chas Storer Ltd and collects paper, cardboard and polythene plastics from commercial businesses across the south east for recycling. The family-owned business also sponsored Potters Bar District Under 11s earlier this year and is developing a programme for primary schools to help children understand the benefits of recycling.
Environment Journal spoke to the firm’s managing director, Craig Curtis about the company’s origins and the future of recycling.
