Last week, Green Councillor Sam Ross attended the official opening of Keynsham's state-of-the-art Recycling Hub, showcasing the Green Group's resolute support for recycling initiatives within the Bath and North East Somerset (B&NES) area.

On March 7 Councillors Joanna Wright and Saskia Heijltjes also embarked on a comprehensive tour of the facility, underscoring the Greens' steadfast commitment to sustainable resource management, as delineated in their recycling policies.

The Green Group has been persistent in its commitment to minimising environmental impact and advocating for responsible resource use. Their endorsement of the Keynsham Recycling Hub reflects their unwavering dedication to projects that promote sustainable resource management and environmental conservation.

Expressing her excitement for the innovative features of the Hub, Councillor Joanna Wright remarked, "It's inspiring to witness such dedication to sustainability and efficiency in our community. The investments made in this facility perfectly align with the Green vision for responsible resource management."

 The Keynsham Recycling Hub marks a significant milestone in waste management for the region, consolidating multiple depots into one cutting-edge facility that reduces costs while prioritising both functionality and environmental sustainability.

Noteworthy features of the hub include rainwater harvesting, renewable energy generation, and biodiversity enhancements.

Councillor Sam Ross emphasised the importance of community engagement and social responsibility in environmental initiatives, stating, "The Social Value Plan associated with this project demonstrates the positive impact that sustainable development can have on our communities. It's great to see local businesses, educational institutions, and residents coming together to support this vital initiative."
