Why Do It

Waste Minimisation and Recycling really is simple!

When it comes down to it there are endless ways that we can minimise and recycle the rubbish that we throw away. Most of the things we use can be recycled into something new and it couldn’t be easier to do. This section will give you the history of waste minimisation and recycling that shows we were no strangers to these concepts in the past but now we produce more waste than ever before. You will also be introduced to the reasons why we should reduce the rubbish we create, what you can gain from it and how to go about it.
