These blocks represent 1000s of compressed face masks, collected from NHS sites. In collaboration with TCG we will continue to recycle & process these PPE-waste blocks into new products & bins to be used throughout hospitals in the UK.

There are still a few to be added, but we now have a free week-long programme of around 40 free online events to promote positive action on #climatechange during #ReadingClimateFestival with @RDGWhatsOn. You can find them at https://t.co/W7PI1oOtWo Please retweet!

Lovely morning to shred up 3D print fails and waste ☺️♻️

[ReFactory @MYReFactory]

We're committed to ensuring every product we receive will be sorted & recycled at our UK depots. Initially recovering materials for a 100% recycled compound to go back into the UK & European supply chain for bottles, then back into Boots brand packaging. #plasticwaste #takeback

[Festival of Digital Disruption @FoDD2022]

And we are off, the Green Meets Grey Schools E-Waste Challenge for years 7 & 8 in Berkshire is live. We want our next gen to take on our e-waste problem. 3 stages to enter with a #startup pitch competition as part of the festival. Learn more - https://t.co/f4s0lX8Jsu

Stats from reuse community @thisisfreegle. Big leap in activity since lockdown lifted. https://t.co/sbnbuTCHqU

Also: there are many more OFFERS than WANTEDS! (74% to 26%). So don't be bashful, go ahead and want things.

Imagine a real fashion industry. A functioning making industry would change lives for generations for the better. This horrible bastardisation based on over production, over consumption is not it. Don’t sell yourself short. #insidemissguided

[Katherine Trebeck (a less than infrequent X user) @KTrebeck]

Couldn't be more disappointed & unimpressed w this interview- hostile language to those fighting for a better world & ignoring the huge costs (on people, planet & gov coffers) of a growth-dependent econ that's unjust & unsustainable. Scotland deserves an economy #betterthangrowth

I am actually scared to do this. In truth I have found plastic building up throughout #lockdown . I’m going back to basics and applying my plastic detox and plan from my own book #turningthetideonplastic Will be chatting to @RaghnaidShine about this next week. #PlasticFreeJuly

[lucy siegle @lucysiegle]

100% with Hugo here. Yes get annoyed with litter bugs if that's your thing but there's about 30 years evidence that it achieves little. Brands fund 'litter' campaigns at a tiny proportion of the cost of funding real recycling and circularity. Polluter pays. It is time.

[Hugo Tagholm @HugoSAS]

Anti littering campaigns consistently fail stop this shocking behaviour. Society must deal w/ root cause of the pollution - disposable, single-use culture & breakdown of recycling systems. The terrifying amount of packaging & plastic produced globally is choking our ocean.

[The Restart Project @RestartProject]

Our @ugomatic explains to @CommonsEAC that manufacturers cannot possibly repair all of their products (2 billion iPhones?), and allowing them to have effective monopolies over repairs is bad for consumers and the planet #RighttoRepair

[lucy siegle @lucysiegle]

Delighted to announce that there is nothing stopping retailers and brands from accepting reusables apart from plastic industry lobbying. Here's 18 experts collated by @greenpeaceuk https://t.co/BtIWXbB0sS giving the green light. #turningthetideonplastic

[Right to Repair @RepairCoalition]

Stats from the EU show "While a majority of consumers repair products (64%), a substantial share have not repaired products in the past (36%), and/or have no experience renting/leasing or buying second hand products (~90%)." Probably because OEMs won't support older units.
