Owned by global group Fairmont Hotel, the Savoy Hotel in London participates in Fairmont's green partnership programme, which encourages its hotels to follow and develop environmental programmes. Motivated by this policy, the Savoy asked glass recycling firm, Berryman Glass to put them in touch with a reliable local glass collector. Berryman directed them to the London Borough of Hackney and its commercial waste collections service which collects from some areas outside its own borough to keep the scheme operating at maximum. Glass is stored at the Savoy in mixed colours and is collected on a near daily basis by Hackney Council. The LA delivers the glass to a depot in Dagenham, and mixed glass is sent to Yorkshire where it is colour-sorted. Once the glass has been processed, it is sent to Rockware Glass to be turned back into jars and bottles.
