Method Recycling’s new recycling bins for offices aim to provide a visible yet flexible way to divert waste from landfill and increase office sustainability.
Method, co-founded by Steven and India Korner, is a long-term sustainability partner of Atlassian, Foster and Partners, the Sydney Cricket Ground and more. Over three years the company has refined its products through holding focus groups, preparing prototypes and even assisting cleaners on night-shifts to gain the greatest possible knowledge of what was required from its products.
This work went into producing the company’s colour-coded and Method bins, which it is hoped will prompt behaviour change and increase recycling uptake. The bins connect together to form adaptable recycling stations that can be moved or expanded as a client’s office space changes. A patented Bag Retainer System holds liners in place and hides them from sight for a discreet finish.
Commenting on the product, Shamal Singh, Global Office Architect at online graphic design and publishing platform Canva, said: “Since finding Method, we now have a waste solution that complements our aesthetic, is clear to the team, neat and scalable for our fast growing company.”

How will the government and DMOs address the challenges of including glass in DRS while ensuring a level playing field across the UK?
There's no easy solution to include glass in the DRS while maintaining a level playing field. Potential approaches include a phased introduction of glass, potentially with higher deposits to reflect its logistical challenges. The government and DMOs could incentivise innovation in glass packaging design and subsidise dedicated return points for glass-handling. Exemptions for smaller businesses unable to handle glass might also be necessary. Any successful solution will likely blend several approaches. It must address the differing priorities of devolved administrations, balance environmental benefits with logistical and cost implications, and be supported by robust consumer education campaigns emphasizing the importance of glass recycling.
