Waste

Waste

It is widely recognised that we, particularly in the Developed World cannot go on dumping our waste in what are essentially big holes in the ground.

It is estimated that 85% of household, commercial and industrial waste in the South is landfilled.

The UK produces enough waste to fill the Albert Hall once every hour. It is clear that the UK cannot go on using the planets resouce in such an unsustainable way.

We owe it to the environment for our children and future generations to manage our waste more sustainably and ensure that we follow the simple waste reduction hierarchy; Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
