* Contract To Supply Kitchen Caddies In Hertfordshire
Straight plc (AIM: STT), the environmental products and services group, is
pleased to announce it has been awarded a contract to provide kitchen caddy food
waste containers to over 150,000 households in Hertfordshire for approximately
GBP150,000.
The five and seven litre kitchen caddies, which are manufactured for Straight in
Hull, encourage
householders to separate food waste in their kitchens for
collection at the kerbside and subsequent composting.
Commenting on the news, Jonathan Straight, Chief Executive of Straight plc,
said:
"Although modest in value, this contract covers approximately a third of
households in Hertfordshire and will help reduce food waste sent to landfill.
"This contract also highlights the desire amongst local authorities to encourage
householders to
play an active role in separating food waste at the kerbside,
which is now seen by WRAP, the government funded Waste & Resources Action
Programme, as a preferred approach to recycling household waste."
Straight plc will be exhibiting at Futuresource, Europe's sustainability event
at ExCeL London between 9 - 11 June 2009.
