Why Recycling Plastics Matters
Plastics are a significant part of our daily lives, but not all plastics are created equal when it comes to recycling. Incorrect disposal can lead to contamination, making entire batches of recyclables unusable. In Wealden, over 1,000 tonnes of household waste were rejected from recycling centres due to contamination. By understanding what can and can't be recycled, we can all contribute to a more sustainable future.
Reduce Plastic Waste at the Source
Cutting down on the amount of plastic you use is one of the most effective ways to help.
Choose loose fruit and vegetables instead of pre-packaged ones.
Carry a reusable bag and say no to single-use plastic cutlery or straws when possible.
Switch to refillable bottles or bar soaps to reduce plastic packaging.
Even small changes in your habits can make a big difference across our community.
