R Strategy

R8 - Recycle, R2 - Reduce

Primary: the platform's stated aim is to improve material recovery and recycling rates (R8). Secondary: the site documents reductions in manual sampling and costs (evidence of resource use reduction - R2). Confidence for primary is High, but secondary is an inferred benefit from performance claims. Source: Greyparrot, 2025
