The recycling process consumes less energy - and therefore produces less carbon - than the extraction and processing of new raw materials. The amount we recycled in the UK last year saved the same amount of carbon as taking 5 million cars off the road.
Household waste has an impact on climate change. By recycling more, preventing waste food and composting at home you can do your bit to help reduce this impact. In partnership with WRAP we have prepared some top tips on household waste reduction looking specifically at recycling, home composting and reducing food waste.
