A pa pe r re cy cl in g se rv ic e wi th a d if fe re n ce Close the Loop, Jubilee’s paper recycling service is a closed loop system which recycles customers paper waste and converts it back into new EcoTeam 100% recycled paper. By producing pulp from waste paper, we eliminate the need to cut down trees for the manufacturing of our EcoTeam paper.

Made from 100% post consumer waste (in fact it’s your waste!) our EcoTeam paper helps extend the life of paper fibre and reduces the wastage of precious resources and landfill.

Eliminating the need for a separate supplier By collecting your paper waste in our vehicles that deliver to you, we will be using our resources more productively and removing the need for a separate paper recycling company, therefore minimising your carbon emissions. We also provide secure paper collection and destruction.

So far Jubilee customers have saved 629 tonnes of paper waste from going to landfill.


R e cy cl e yo ur fu rn itu re wi th Ju bi le e Jubilee can provide a sustainable option for all your used office furniture. Through our furniture recycling service, in partnership with our principal furniture manufacturer, we will manage the disposal and recycling of all of your used furniture, when you purchase new furniture from us.

Eliminating the need for a separate supplier We take away your old furniture at the same time as delivering your new furniture, ensuring a seamless transfer and minimum office downtime.

Recycling into furniture for the future Once collected, the used furniture will be taken to our nearest depot, where it will be either donated to local charities or broken down for recycling into furniture for the future. Waste furniture is broken down into its component parts and segregated by material type. Many positive post consumer waste streams have been established for such materials as seating cloth, foam and polystyrene.

The foundation of our environmental appraisal is to look at your orders and provide you with environmental solutions where possible. At the same time we will also look to increase your bottom line by improving your day to day efficiencies accordingly.


R e p o r ts t n e m e g a n a M l ta n e m E n v ir o n Providing your business with quantifiable environmental savings and reports Jubilee’s quarterly environmental management reports provide your business with the opportunity to view and report back to colleagues and customers the contribution your business is making towards reducing your impact on the environment. Within the report Jubilee will analyse your buying behaviour, delivery frequency, order volumes, method of invoicing, paperwork and use of packaging for deliveries. Together with providing quantifiable data of the paper and toners your business has diverted from going to landfill through using our recycling initiatives.

Ongoing environmental performance reviews From the results obtained within the environmental management report, Jubilee will work with you to help identify future opportunities to improve your environmental performance and set targets for the next quarter, which Jubilee will support.


J u b il e e g in s u f o s it f e n e b e Th a s a s in g le s u p p li e r By using Jubilee as a single supplier for all your office services and products, we can reduce the amount of unnecessary administration, time and costs associated with raising separate orders and invoices. Whilst also benefiting from getting all you need delivered at the same time from a single supplier. Our unique delivery infrastructure ensures that we are local and on your doorstep, minimising the effect your business has on the environment. Our infrastructure is particularly suited for multi-site businesses.
