Who's your #ChristmasHero? Christmas is a time to spend with friends and family, but it’s also the time when we over-indulge and create the most waste.

Whether it’s packaging from deliveries, wrapping paper, or food tubs and trays from our favourite seasonal treats, the waste can seem endless!

@Recycle_Now, our national recycling campaign for England and Northern Ireland gives the run down on all the things you can recycle this festive season, so you can become a #RecycleMeRecycle hero.

The CircularChem team is taking some time to recharge and enjoy the festive season! 🎄✨

Wishing you all a joyful and restful holiday. We look forward to reconnecting in the New Year.

Thank you for helping us make 2024 such a successful year!
