UK Recycle Week 2008 will lift off 2/06/08 for a week of exciting, high profile activities focusing on the benefits of recycling. In 2007, TV presenter Denise Van Outen lent her name to the campaign, & similar celebrity support is expected for the 2008 event. The annual event, now in its 5th year, is organised by WRAP in partnership with leading materials recycling organisations: British Glass, Corus, Novelis, PaperChain & Recoup. Recycle Week is also supported by national recycling campaigns in Scotland, Wales & N Ireland, together with a growing number of local authorities. Rebecca Cocking, recycling manager at British Glass said "Recycle Week is an exciting opportunity every year to really promote the benefits of recycling, especially reaching out to people at the 'grassroots' level. With the crucial support we get from community groups and local authorities, it means we all have the chance to make a difference". Plans for Recycle Week 2008 are well underway and regular announcements will be made outlining promotional activity and support materials available for local authorities and industry stakeholders and any other interested parties to plan their activities well in advance.
