Are we rubbish at recycling?
Following the recent media coverage and wave of interest following Blue Planet 2 and the impact of waste and plastic in our sea, I've started to think; are we really rubbish at recycling?
More +While the scheme will include containers made from PET plastic and metal, only Wales is currently committed to including glass - and that's causing a debate.
In this guide, we take a closer look at the pros and cons of including glass in the DRS. We’ll explore key arguments from both sides, highlighting insights from successful trials and the role behavioural science plays in influencing recycling habits. Including glass could significantly boost recycling rates, but it also raises concerns about managing costs, logistical complexity, and the environmental impact of handling glass.
Our guide will walk you through the benefits of higher recycling rates versus the practicalities of streamlining the process. Should glass be part of the scheme, or should we focus on simplicity and cost-efficiency? After reading, you’ll have the information you need to make your own informed decision.
