Our Accreditations, Your Benefits

Each accreditation, membership, or certification that is held by The Greener Side was achieved for a purpose; In order to provide greater, more tangible value to partners who can benefit further from our services.

ISO9001

ISO9001 : Quality Management

Benefit from consistency and reliability.

By adhering to ISO9001, The Greener Side guarantees that all processes are documented, measured, and continually improved. You’ll receive a predictable, high-quality service every single time you engage with us, from your initial collection request, to the final reporting.

ISO14001

ISO14001

Benefit from robust ESG compliance.

As you strive to meet your own Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) targets, you’ll require a supply chain or service provider that matches your ambition. ISO14001 Certification proves that The Greener Side actively manages our own, and our partner’s environmental impact. Using a certified partner simplifies your internal auditing and provides third-party verification of your carbon reduction efforts.

ETIRA

ETIRA

Benefit from guaranteed circularity.

ETIRA membership signifies our stand against non-compliant ‘new-build’ clone toner cartridges that harm the environment. While we will recycle them, it’s better not to use them in the first place. By partnering with us, you’ll be supporting a true circular economy, ensuring that your empty toner cartridges, components, etc. are remanufactured or recycled legally and sustainably within the industry’s best-practice framework.

FSC

FSC

Benefit from sustainable packaging and collection boxes.

The Greener Side’s commitment to sustainability extends all the way to the very boxes that are used for collections. By using FSC-certified cardboard, we ensure that every touchpoint of service supports responsible forestry, providing you with a complete green chain of custody for your peace of mind.

Environment Agency

Benefit from legal peace of mind.

An Environment Agency accreditation means that The Greener Side is fully licensed to transport and process your waste via each of our recycling services and solutions, thereby protecting your business from the significant legal risks associated with unauthorised or improper waste disposal.
