It’s Recycle Week 21st – 27th September and Ecohog are ‘Hungry for Waste’
Recycle Week is the largest national annual recycling campaign, delivered by Recycle Now. Did you know that nearly two thirds of our household waste can be recycled and one recycled aluminium can save enough energy to run a TV for three hours? (NI Direct, 2020).
With making simple changes, there are many ways we all can participate to reduce waste and encourage recycling. Recycling benefits both the public and the environment, therefore we all need to remember take part and encourage others too.
Getting involved in your local area whether it be using;
- Re-useable plastic bags for groceries or purchasing a machine washable bag
- Re-useable containers for lunch, snacks etc
- Re-useable water bottles made from stainless steel, glass, or plastic instead of disposables
- Re-useable coffee cups made from recyclable plastic, bamboo or glass instead of disposables
