About Ecosurety

Ecosurety has over 1,000 members across the retail, food and drink sectors. As well as taking care of their recycling obligations, Ecosurety works with its members to identify programmes that drive forward innovation, education and improved infrastructure in the UK’s recycling sector, using a proportion of members’ PRN spend as a finance mechanism.

Not only does this approach enable the UK’s recycling capacity to grow, it increases transparency by reducing the UK’s reliance on foreign recycling export markets.
