Recycle Week 2023 - Raise Awareness with a Custom Recycling Bag

Recycle Week is the UK's annual celebration of recycling, encouraging both consumers and businesses to reduce waste and recycle more! It's a popular awareness campaign amongst councils & waste authorities looking to boost local recycling rates. Make the most of this annual campaign with a Custom-Printed Recycling Bag that promotes the aims of Recycling Week as well as educating local residents.

2023 will be the 20th year of this prominent awareness campaign which brings together governments, councils, waste management companies, retailers, national and local media (and a whole host of trade associations, brands and businesses) to achieve the common goal of building awareness of the importance of recycling.

When is Recycle Week 2023?

Recycle Week 2023 runs from 16th - 22nd October 2023. Over the course of the week, there are many campaigns on a national and local level, making this a prominent media event. It's a great PR opportunity for any organisation looking to improve the environment and encourage the public to join them.

Here at Smartbags, we help local councils and waste authorities to create custom-printed recycling bags which they distribute to residents to store their recycling waste. The bags are printed with local recycling information and a website address for more information. With such a large canvas to print on, it's easy to convey all the information needed to help boost local recycling rates.
