As well as all this, The Eden Project is very much a sustainable entity in so much that it endeavours to source goods and services, which are environmentally friendly and typically locally sourced. Initiatives now also include the segregation and recycling of waste streams within their new administration complex, via the introduction of Eco-line units for individual workstations, together with Eco-module for a number of communal recycling areas.

It is the aim of The Eden Project to actively follow a recycling programme with its own employees to encourage and promote inwardly certain environmental messages, which are also in turn being relayed to the tourists visiting the site. The Eden Project environmental team will monitor percentage waste fractions collected, employee participation rates etc in a bid to reduce waste.  Plastic Omnium Urban Systems already supply 90 litre wheeled bins manufactured from HDPE obtained from household plastics recovered from selective collection, which are housed in recycling stations externally, to address the issues of waste minimisation and recycling.
