BASIS has provided expert help to sports clubs, venues, and governing bodies for over a decade – helping them to understand their impacts, set targets and implement processes to improve their environmental performance. BASIS’s 12 Principles are a comprehensive framework that guides sports organisations in achieving environmental, social, and economic sustainability.

co-cre8 are renowned as circular economy experts with a true passion for innovation and systemic thinking, with their expertise lying in developing and implementing strategies that enhance resource efficiency and promote responsible consumption. Services provided by co-cre8 and that will support BASIS members include;

1. System Design – designing, implementing and managing collection and recycling programmes for ‘hard-to-recycle’ products, specialising in food and beverage packaging used within the hospitality and foodservice sector
2. Paper Cup Recycling – a layered UK-wide collection service that ensures paper cups are recycled in the most cost effective and operationally efficient manner
3. Waste and Recycling Stations – easy to use and visually impactful recycling stations, all of which are manufactured in the UK (from UK sourced recycled materials where possible) and which are proven to collect targeted materials separately and free from contamination to facilitate onward recycling
4. Circular Products – transforming post-consumer material back into desirable new products that are designed for circularity. In 2022, co-cre8 launched the Honest brand and first product – the Honest Bottle (www.honestbottle.com), the first and only reusable bottle made in the UK from UK sourced recycled material, that can also be easily recycled at end of life.
