Drowning in plastic?

The waste hierarchy is a way of prioritizing our management of waste or as we like to think of it; valuable resources. This is the order;

1. Refuse 2. Reduce 3. Reuse 4. Recycle 5. Recover

Before we looking at the top 3 we must make sure that we are doing our best to manage the plastic we have acquired and that means getting good at recycling. There are ONLY 3 organisations who can recycle plastics from Brighton and Hove residents. 

  1. Brighton and Hove City Council
  2. Magpie Recycling
  3. The Green Centre

Some supermarkets also offer some plastic recycling;

  1. Asda - Brighton
  2. Tescos - Hove
  3. Morrison's - St James Street

If you want to learn more about plastics, this is a good guide to different kinds of plastics. If you want to understand the impact of plastics on the environment then watch, "A Plastic Ocean" or find out all about the work of the amazing Afroz Shah in the documentary, "Plastic in our Oceans".

Slow Down. Consume Less. Share More. Help give your planet a cleaner, greener future...
