The Council of The Recycling Association has named Craig Robinson as its next chief executive.
With almost 25 years experience in the recycling industry, Craig brings a wealth of knowledge of the sector having worked in recycled paper and cardboard and glass especially. In recent years, he has worked for Visy, Sibelco and Cyclelink. Craig has also previously served on the governing Council of The Recycling Association.
He will join The Recycling Association from 1 June 2026 and will work with current chief executive Paul Sanderson until taking over fully on 17 August 2026.
The Recycling Association President Colin Clarke said: “I’m delighted to welcome Craig to The Recycling Association and look forward to working with him during the next two years of my Presidency.
“Craig’s experience having worked for, and run, member companies will mean he will understand from the beginning the challenges they face. At a time of huge change, we needed someone who can take over from Paul and hit-the-ground-running, and I’m glad we will have a good transition period so Paul can pass on as much of his knowledge as possible.
“I’m confident that Craig will be a superb chief executive of The Recycling Association and I’m really glad that he has decided to join us.”
Craig Robinson said: “I’m looking forward to joining The Recycling Association and representing its member companies.
“The Recycling Association has always been successful at giving its members influence with Government and regulators, at organising fantastic networking events and being a source of information for member companies.
“With a lot happening for our members right now and in the coming months and years, The Recycling Association will continue to support them under my leadership.”
