About First Mile

At First Mile, we’re on a mission to slow down climate change by delivering smarter waste and recycling solutions that help businesses cut carbon, improve efficiency, and do good for the planet.

We’re proud to be one of the UK’s leading B2B sustainability and waste partners, working with over 30,000 businesses including Pret, Zara, and Netflix.
