Quotes

Barry Sterndale-Bennett, Vice-Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chair of the Library Advisory Group, said: "This is fantastic news. Thanks to Biffa Award, we will very soon be able to bring our wonderful collection of local memorabilia back to the Institute. In addition, moving the entrance to the building to what is currently the library entrance, means that in future everyone entering the building will see the library – many for the first time."
"Whilst this creates commercial opportunities, the key to success is being able to offer high quality recyclates. Our analysis of recent deals shows targeted investment in developing new services and technologies to reclaim and reuse materials, which is vital."
"All of our projects are run by people who work hard to bring communities together and make a lasting difference to their local areas and the environment, so to be shortlisted for an award is a tremendous achievement."
