'One Bin To Rule Them All' - an interdisciplinary research project @OfficialUoM, helping to bring about a more circular economy for waste plastics.

[OneBinUoM @OneBinUoM]

Too much plastic ends up incinerated, in landfill or ‘leaked’ by other means into the environment. The socio-environmental implications are stark. We’re exploring the material, economic and social ‘realities’ of plastic waste and testing a solution – ‘One Bin’ for all plastics.

New paper out in @SocresOnline by @DrHEHolmes and me on household plastics recycling - https://t.co/nP3Qacqj0u. Drawing on @OneBinUoM research, we argue… (1/3)

Understand more about how confusing and contradictory messages make recycling our plastic waste WAY more complicated than it needs to be. @TorikHolmes @DrHEHolmes & @KrisKortsen of @OneBinUoM explain all in this week's @ConversationUK article

Bit of behind the scenes footage from Stockport Market - sadly no prizes for getting your plastics in the right bin, just the knowledge that you are getting your recycling right! Imagine how much easier it would be if there was just #OneBin for all plastics... Checkout @OneBinUoM

Here's a piece in the @ConversationEDU from the @OneBinUoM team on why we need a crackdown on confusion over “wishcycling” to improve recycling - https://t.co/lixbemJmdm @DrHEHolmes @KrisKortsen @SMI_Hub @SustainableUoM @ManchesterSCI @MCRSociology

[OneBinUoM @OneBinUoM]

We've just published an article via @ConversationUK following the recent 'wishcycling' news, feel free to get involved in the debate!

🙋 Do UK policies to tackle plastic waste actually create further challenges in an already overburdened & siloed plastic supply chain?
