As part of its ongoing commitment to promote a more sustainable work environment my Department has strengthened its recycling capabilities during 2007.

New contract arrangements for recycling cardboard and plastic materials have been introduced. In addition, a pilot scheme to broaden the range of materials to be recycled has been established. The Department keeps under review opportunities for reducing and recycling, in particular items such as office consumables.
