This year's Decanter World Wine Awards will be greener than ever, with over 8,000 bottles being recycled. With the 4th annual Decanter Wine Awards underway, Decanter is working with the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham's Environment Services Dept to ensure that all empty bottles & cardboard boxes discarded during the event are recycled. 'This is the first time we've undertaken a one-off recycling project on such a large scale,' said Councillor Nicholas Botterill, who covers environmental issues for Hammersmith & Fulham, which has provided eight 1,280/l bins to be collected each day throughout the course of the 5 day event.'Many businesses within the borough recycle regularly, but we haven't been called upon to recycle such a large quantity of glass & cardboard for a single event. We're very impressed & hope other organisations follow suit.'
