UK households generate over 30 million tonnes of waste every year - the equivalent weight of 3.5 million double decker buses!

By reducing the amount of waste we produce and reusing as much as we can instead of just binning it, we not only reduce the volume of material sent to landfill but also reduce the amount of energy used to manufacture new products from raw materials.
