As the largest office block in Gloucestershire, Eagle Tower is one of the county's central business hubs. With 15 floors, it is home to over 45 companies and unsurprisingly produces a huge amount of waste every day.

Soaring high above the rest of Cheltenham, at 175ft, Eagle Tower is the town's tallest building and only skyscraper. For 50 years, it has been a landmark in the town.

Last year, Printwaste business development manager, Simon Vincent, gave Eagle Tower a call to see if they needed any assistance with their recycling or shredding. At the time, they were having issues with their provider, and were interested in upping their recycling efforts.

Simon went to Eagle Tower and completed an on-site waste audit to find out what waste was being produced, and how it was being segregated and disposed of. By doing this, he realised that 70 per cent of the general waste produced by Eagle Tower was actually recyclable.

Since then, Printwaste has worked with Eagle Tower and the businesses based there to make the whole site completely landfill-free, with all 52 offices within the building receiving zero-waste-to-landfill certificates.

Printwaste has installed recycling bins throughout the building, with collections four times a week, and is increasing environmental awareness amongst staff by providing educational tools, such as presentations, waste and recycling reports, and a clear document stating what can and cannot be recycled.

With all this going on, Eagle Tower may soon have a new title - greenest office block in Gloucestershire!
