Typical recycling bin
Is recycling a waste? Well if used materials are not recycled then new products are made by extracting fresh, raw material from the Earth, through mining and forestry. Also recycling saves energy it also reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to tackle climate change, and current UK recycling is estimated to save more than 18 million tonnes of C02 a year – the equivalent to taking 5 million cars off the road. There are over 1,500 landfill sites in the UK, and in 2001, these sites produced a quarter of the UK’s emissions of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, however recycling starts in YOUR kitchen and that is why new rental flats rented out by Pimlico Flats feature recycling bins which makes recycling effortless.
You can get recycling bins from My Kitchen Store, so fit a recycling bin to your kitchen and you have made a contribution to saving our planet.
