It provides fresh stimulus in areas where recycling rates are starting to plateau, driving increases in the recovery of metal packaging and other dry recyclables.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Available to all local authorities<\/strong>. It can be run in a single local authority, to target a select demographic group (e.g. by ACORN or Mosaic classification) or across a waste partnership area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Easy to implement<\/strong> using our extensive toolkit which covers everything from leaflet and literature templates, radio ads, social media content and more.\u00a0 The programme is managed in partnership with Alupro with the intention of making the process as easy as possible for local authorities who have significant resource constraints.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Programmes are part-funded<\/strong> by the MetalMatters industry partnership, which is comprised of businesses and organisations within the metal packaging manufacturing and recycling industry and leading brand owners.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Increase in metal capture rates<\/strong> average between 9-12% however some local authorities have seen increases of 25% within months of a campaign launching.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Increased awareness of other recyclable materials.<\/strong> The leaflet allows you to highlight all of the materials recycled through your scheme. As a result areas have seen an increase in the capture rates of their mixed recycling as a result of using the campaign.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Return on Investment (ROI)<\/strong>: Thanks to the value of the additional metal packaging collected, the campaign pays for itself in just a few months. Most local authorities have seen a return on investment within 12 months.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Cited as an example of \u2018best practice\u2019<\/strong> by UK and devolved governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How you can get involved<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Contact Alupro tel: 01527 597 757 or <a href=\"mailto:info@alupro.org.uk\">info@alupro.org.uk<\/a> to discuss your own MetalMatters campaign with one of our programme managers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Take a look at the <a href=\"http:\/\/metalmatters.org.uk\/\">MetalMatters website <\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Take a look at how other locals authorities have used the programme in our <a href=\"http:\/\/metalmatters.org.uk\/case-studies\/\">case studies section<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Watch the video case study on our programme with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TvjZltSoejw\">Warwick District Council\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In 2011 the programme was named Communications Campaign of the Year at the CIWM Awards for Excellence.
