A great turnout for this morning’s Environmental Compliance Workshop with @positiveplanethq!🙌 After an introduction from Alex Boase, the session was led by Michael Kenyon and Connor Grisdale, who guided attendees through the rapidly evolving world of environmental compliance. The workshop covered everything from the current landscape of environmental assessments and the importance of accurate data collection, through to key frameworks such as CBAM, Life Cycle Assessments, Product Carbon Footprinting, and Environmental Product Declarations. These are becoming essential tools for organisations looking to understand, measure and reduce their environmental impact.

♻️Global Recycling Day 2026♻️ This year’s theme says it all: “Don’t think waste - think opportunity”. For the UK aluminium industry, that opportunity is HUGE. Aluminium can be recycled infinitely- using 95% less energy than it takes to produce primary aluminium. At #ALFED, we’re proud to champion aluminiums role in creating a sustainable, circular economy, driving innovation and promoting closed-loop recycling across the UK. Let’s change the way we think about waste👉and unlock its true potential!💪 #GlobalRecyclingDay #Sustainability #Recycling #CircularEconomy
