Recycling rate
LNER has previously seen a low recycling rate across all platforms and depot’s, with the last recorded statistic being 15% in 2018.
The train operator said that the low rate could be down to a “number of reasons” and also outlined measures it had tried to take to improve this (see letsrecycle.com story).
