Twelve percent of the weight of the average rubbish bag is packaging. Because packaging rubbish is mostly very light plastic, it takes up a lot of space - sometimes up to half of the rubbish bag.
SO WHAT WE CAN DO IS........................
SO WHAT WE CAN DO IS........................
Say no to plastic bags
Sometimes you need a plastic bag, but there are times when you don't. If you don't need a plastic bag, don't take it.
You can also take your own bag to the shops - reuse plastic shopping bags from last time or buy some reusable cloth bags.
Buy products with less packaging or recyclable packaging
Buy economy sized products, concentrates and refills - these give you more product for less packaging. Less packaging means less rubbish.
Buy products packaged in cardboard, paper, glass, cans or type 1 and 2 plastics - these can usually be RECYCLED. Recyclable packaging means less rubbish.
Buy products which contain recycled material
For recycling to work properly, it has to be made into new products and we have to buy them.
