Biffa has renewed its long-standing partnership with Leicester Tigers.
Now in its fourth year as the Premiership rugby club’s Official Sustainability Partner, Biffa’s iconic logo will feature on the back of the women’s kit for the second season running.
The women’s team continued their pre-season campaign with a 14-34 home defeat to Sale Sharks on Saturday, September 14.
In 2022, Biffa collected six million tonnes of waste, including 50,000 tonnes of plastic, from homes and businesses across the East Midlands.
More than 90% of this waste is recycled or converted into electricity at energy recovery plants like Newhurst, near Shepshed, in Leicestershire, which Biffa jointly funded with Encyclis.
Leicester is also home to one of Biffa’s 14 UK-wide Company Shop stores which prevent surplus food and other items from going to waste by selling them at discounted prices to its members.
