Sustainability and the Social Enterprise – Alternative Business Models for a Sustainable Future Frances Hines BRASS Cardiff University

Social Enterprises – What? 3 rd Way?? Charities? Real businesses? A social enterprise is : “… a business with primarily social objectives whose surpluses are principally reinvested for that purpose in the business or in the community, rather than being driven by the need to maximise profit for shareholders and owners.” DEFRA 2003

The SE Business Model Holistic Integrative Community based Sustainability focused – environmental - social - economic The perfect solution?

A Case Study….

Newport Wastesavers Recycling for Newport

Cleanstream Resource Centre

Who are they? A Charity and not-for-profit community business operating a range of recycling initiatives, for the benefit of the local community “More than profit”

What do they do? Community Furniture Reuse Education & Schools programmes Kerbside Recycling Paint Reuse Commercial Recycling

Kerbside Recycling The 1 st authority-wide kerbside scheme in Wales Collects paper, cans, glass, textiles and plastic from 52,500 hhs All material is sorted at source Highest kerbside recycling rate in Wales

What’s the difference No profit is taken out of the local community Community own the scheme Use of Volunteers & Placements Contract with Probation Service Contract with Prescoed Prison, Usk Social objectives Lowest running cost of any multi-material kerbside scheme in UK (possible Europe)
