Circular Economy Lead @3KeelLLP. Passionate advocate of Lifecycle thinking, finding how things are made & how to make them 'better'. Tweets R my own😀

[Alex Hetherington @DrAlexHethers]

With the fashion industry emitting around 10% of global carbon emissions and 20% of global waste water our consortium is looking forward to shining the light on how drive circularity in UK fashion for @BFC in the Circular Fashion Ecosystem project. @3KeelLLP

[3Keel @3Keel_LTD]

Excited to announce 3Keel is leading the research consortium for the British Fashion Council’s inaugural Circular Fashion Ecosystem project. Tune in today at 4.30pm GMT to hear @DrAlexHethers discussing how to create a circular fashion economy. https://t.co/rlWl2JrAWe

I don't tweet often (need to improve there!) but @3KeelLLP topping the list by being awarded Gold in this years'
@FinancialTimes
Leading Management Consultants ranking is definitely one not to miss! Super proud - well done team.

[3Keel @3Keel_LTD]

Pre-shop planning and creative cooking are among the ways we’re all trying to manage our food better in lockdown.

Maintaining these as restrictions lift is crucial to reducing the amount of food wasted in UK homes: https://t.co/NvlD2ya8fi

Senior Consultant @Cath_McCosker has been out in the field this week (literally) collecting data on food waste from blackcurrant harvesting - the sunshine was a bonus! @WRAP_UK @LEAF_Farming @IFarmers

Reminds me of when I was in a meeting sat next to someone involved in design & installs of AD systems - he said he hadn’t used fossil fuelled vehicles for 20 years... biomethane all the way!

[3Keel @3Keel_LTD]

New #climate friendly technologies are now emerging in one of the hardest to tackle sectors: road freight. Here's one innovation by @waitrose who are switching to biomethane from diesel https://t.co/fFwzGftCoR

[Alex Hetherington @DrAlexHethers]

⁦@waitrose⁩ extending its unpacked trial and ⁦@marksandspencer⁩ launching a discount scheme to incentivise use of re-usable containers. Going in the right direction - who else will join?#stopsingleuseplastic https://t.co/VyLe0BdUz8

[Alex Hetherington @DrAlexHethers]

Interesting listening to Mark Carney being challenged about plastics .. whilst talking about climate change - the role of banks & corporations as ‘part of the solution' to tackling climate change https://t.co/49D613hPFk via @jonsnowC4

[Alex Hetherington @DrAlexHethers]

Using 'Lifecycle Thinking' is key to preventing unintended consequences and doing what we can to ensure choices are environmentally sound. More info in the latest edition of FOCUS: https://t.co/IKrj7jcOdK

[Adam Elman @adamelman]

Not sure if I found this funny or terrifying #climatechange

[Alex Hetherington @DrAlexHethers]

Really enjoyed presenting at this excellent @OriginGreen @RepakRecycling @Bordbia event. Vital to have this type of information sharing & dialogue to tackle #PlasticPollution #Packaging issues together.

[Ecosurety @ecosurety]

Co-op bans single-use plastics with new commitment to reduce plastic packaging https://t.co/CbNv1tZ8ry

[R_Swannell @R_Swannell]

Timely reminder of how far we have come and the need to do more. Together can build a more #circulareconomy creating jobs and reducing GHG emissions. #wedo

[William McDonough @billmcdonough]

I believe that #oceanplasticpollution is partially a result of bad #design. If we design with #CradletoCradle and #CircularEconomy in mind, we can create a world where safe and healthy nutrients move easily from one application to another #C2C #TheFiveGoods

[Simon Miller @simoncmiller]

Big news! Very happy to announce that @3KeelLLP has partnered with the excellent designers and innovators at @KinneirDufort = sustainable + design, less #plasticwaste.

Evidence based approaches & design for re-use and recycling are definitely the way forward to tackle #plastics #packagingrevolution

[OPRL Ltd @OPRL]

Reviewing your #packaging range to edit out unrecyclable #plastics? Or supporting your clients in doing so?

Take an evidence based approach + engage your customers in recycling more, more often, correctly

Join our rapidly growing #packagingrevolution https://t.co/jev7dZtivW

[Alex Hetherington @DrAlexHethers]

Good initiative to stop the mass of discarded #plastics at such events. Need to make sure they are eaten or properly disposed of though @LucozadeSport. Lucozade trials compostable packaging at sporting events https://t.co/Zcl8VcpzxU via @businessgreen

"At worst, plastic bans can create unintended environmental problems. At best, they ignore the systemic issues creating waste in the first place" Great blog post by @mathystanislaus on #plastics https://t.co/EQtVSsaXEe via @worldresources

Revisiting & expanding the use of reusables to reduce consumption & waste. https://t.co/xEVtyFv9dD

New recycling index for packaging being developed by @valpak using LA data to provide % recyclability. Another useful spanner in the #plastic #packaging toolkit. https://t.co/agA6SV13YX
