Closing the Loop at Standard Life
When Mitie and Gather & Gather took on catering at Standard Life’s Edinburgh office, they wanted packaging that matched the site’s values. Vegware was already in use, but without a composting route, the loop wasn’t complete.

Working together, the teams introduced a simple food waste and compostables stream supported by Vegware’s Environmental team. The result? Higher recycling rates, strong staff engagement, and Standard Life achieving 100% landfill diversion on site.

It’s a great example of how the right packaging, the right waste route and the right support can deliver real change.
