Last Chance To Enter The 2015 Recycling ‘Oscars’

There are only a few weeks to go until the 2015 Awards for Excellence in Recycling and Waste Management close for entries.

Big business, entrepreneurs, charities and local authorities will be competing for the top spots in the 2015 Awards for Excellence. Founded by the Environment Media Group, these prestigious awards aim to celebrate the creativity, innovation and dedication of those working to keep resources in the loop. The awards recognise individual success stories, outstanding team efforts and original approaches to sustainable resource management.

Entrants have until midday on Thursday 19th March to submit their 500 word entry for the judges’ consideration. With a broad selection of categories to choose from, those ahead of their field are strongly encouraged to take part in the recycling ‘Oscars’. Last year’s new award – Circular Economy Success – was a big hit and is sure to attract a host of fascinating entries for 2015.

All finalists receive two free tickets to the glittering awards ceremony, which takes place on Thursday 14th May 2015 at one of London’s most prestigious venues, the five-star Landmark Hotel. The awards will be hosted by journalist and broadcaster, Eamonn Holmes.

The ceremony is an exciting and enjoyable networking event, and the credit that comes with an award win is immeasurable.”
