Plumbers and other tradespeople can now turn waste plastic into rewards thanks to a new nationwide recycling scheme from Plumb Centre and Polypipe Building Products – helping the trade to cut landfill waste and earn perks along the way.
Installers can simply save their waste plastic and drop it off at Plumb Centre branches to be rewarded with a £5 Greggs voucher on the first deposit, with more rewards available the more they participate. Installers are encouraged to keep hold of plastic packaging, damaged products and offcuts and hand them over to the branch team on their next visit. When they scan the QR code on the counter to log the drop off they’ll receive a digital Greggs voucher – so the next coffee and sausage roll break is covered.
The waste plastic collection points in over 400 Plumb Centre branches nationwide. All kinds of plastic will be accepted, excluding anything which has been in contact with chemicals or other hazardous materials, human waste, food waste, concrete dust or brick dust. Pipe offcuts must be less than 0.5m in length so they will fit in the bag without need for cutting down in branch.
The first time a customer brings their waste in, they’ll receive 200 rewards points – enough to exchange for a £5 voucher. Each subsequent deposit will earn 50 points which can be saved towards more rewards.
Matt Williams, MD at Polypipe Building Products, says: “We’re incredibly proud of our recycling initiative with our merchant partner, Wolseley Plumb Centre. This project is about more than just statistics. It’s about engaging with the entire industry and fostering a culture of sustainability.”
