Based in Rackheath, Norfolk, PSH Environmental is a family-run waste recycling and management company that continually invests in innovation to reduce landfill dependency, improve recycling rates and minimise its carbon footprint.

Over the past 40 years, the business has grown into one of the region’s leading recycling specialists, processing a wide range of materials responsibly and efficiently.

PSH achieved Certified Carbon Neutral status through Carbon Neutral Britain in 2024 and 2025, offsetting 1,179.6 tonnes of CO₂e emissions.

It is also committed to community engagement through initiatives such as the Clean Up to Green Up programme, which supports environmental education and local clean-up efforts.

The judges said PSH is “leading the way in sustainability” and demonstrating that “innovation and environmental responsibility can coexist with commercial success and industry alike”.

Achieving carbon-neutral certification and developing the world’s first solar-powered industrial shredder showed that PSH has “set new industry standards”, they added.

Nigel Parker from PSH Environmental said: “It’s really good to win this award. It’s a lot of hard work and effort and a case of doing the job properly!”

Daniel Parker, also from PSH Environmental added: “I think we could be a trailblazer for the county. We’re picking up solar power, water, wind, to try and harness the elements to do our job sustainably in the waste sector, so if we can try and implement that into other people’s jobs, that seems the right way to do things.”

New-U Enterprises is a charity offering affordable pre-loved fashion to the general public.

Its shop in Norwich’s Castle Quarter sells a selection of quality second-hand clothes at a discount, and it also runs a range of free upcycling workshops and community events to transform donated clothing into new items.

The judges said New-U Enterprises “champions sustainable fashion while tackling social challenges”, and praised the charity’s “holistic approach”.

RWE is the largest producer of power in the UK, and a leading renewable generator, supplying around 15pc of UK electricity with a portfolio of onshore wind, offshore wind, hydro, biomass and gas.

Its Norfolk offshore wind projects, Norfolk Vanguard East and West, and Norfolk Boreas, will collectively produce enough green electricity to meet 10pc of the UK’s domestic needs.

The UK plays a key role in RWE’s strategy to grow its renewables portfolio and to become carbon neutral by 2040. Between 2024 and 2030, it expects to invest €55 billion in new green technologies and infrastructure to support the energy transition.
