Swap crisp packets for home-popped corn
UK consumers eat about six billion packets of crisps a year. Empty crisp packets have been found with best-before dates from 33 years ago!
Why not make lunch prep more fun? Swap your lunchtime packet of crisps for home popped corn in a reusable container. Who doesn't like the sound of popping corn?
Swap clingfilm
Households use more than 1.2 billion metres of clingfilm in Britain every year. Sadly, you cannot recycle clingfilm. Swap clingfilm for reusable covers or reusable containers.
Swap ready-made sandwiches for a packed lunch
In the UK, we eat six million shop-bought sandwiches, in single use packaging, a day! Swap shop-bought sandwiches for a homemade packed lunch.
Find your nearest eco or refill shop to reduce unwanted packaging
Shop with less waste
Reducing your single use waste can be as simple as remembering your reusable shopping bags, shopping at an eco shop or bringing your own containers when you shop. Don't forget that many large supermarkets collect plastic bags, breadbags, cereal liners and more for recycling.
