Procurement Monday is about looking at the products we buy and checking whether they can be recycled, reused, repaired or repurposed at the end of their useable life.
We are all responsible for waste, so it's important that we all do our part - both at home and at work - to minimise it where possible!
Waste Free Tuesday focuses on reducing the amount of rubbish we send to landfill. Materials can take an exceptionally long time to break down in a landfill. The best way to avoid this is to strive to live as low waste as possible. #RecyclingWeek24 #SayNoToWaste #WasteMinimisation #WasteFreeTuesday
Reusable Wednesday is about refusing single-use items in favour of reusable alternatives. Opting to reuse means that fewer of our precious virgin materials are required to produce new items.
Rinse & Clean Thursday combats contamination through ensuring that recyclable materials are sufficiently clean and disposed in the correct waste stream. Cleaning and separating are essential for successful recycling. #RecyclingWeek24#SayNoToWaste#WasteMinimisation#RinseAndCleanThursday
Spring Clean Weekend challenges us to assess the contents of our homes and businesses, finding items that are no longer used and finding sustainable ways to dispose of them. Repairing, repurposing and donating are great alternatives to landfill.
