@pigreen1 @kfreegard @CIWM Hello! From our experience, most "compostable" packaging can only break down in industrial in vessel composting systems as the heat from home composting simply isn't enough to break down the bonds in the material.

Good morning! How are you all doing today? We’d like to ask a favour around your ‘Give or Take’ boxes by way of completing a survey. Be as honest as you like, but please be kind about each other. 🌈

Please clap for the NHS, but don’t buy and release sky lanterns - they are floating bin fires. 🔥The last thing emergency services need to be dealing with during dry weather 🔥

Saw this wonderful comment on FB on the ‘Give or Take’ boxes which warmed our hearts. Lots of doubters & ‘that will never work’ - now 15,000 reaches on FB and countless donations. The #community are sharing #kindness @GillGMcCaw @guildy35 @CEPKCKarenReid @zerowasteperth

Ta-dah! 1 of 10 ‘Give and Take’ boxes going up around Perth. Sharing food & more accessible for people who are self isolating to nip out & get a tin of soup. Thx @zerowasteperth for this @perthrover @CllrPeterBarret @chrisa027 @CEPKCKarenReid #CoronaLockdown #Viralkindness

A give or take box. For sharing food. This could work well for all of us - what do you think? 👇🏻@zerowasteperth #foodshare #compassionatecommunities

The long-term solution requires a shift away from our convenience based lifestyles. A little inconvenience for us would be very convenient for the planet. We wrote this a few months back explaining why https://t.co/asZFD6BBEH

[Zero Waste Scotland @ZeroWasteScot]

Replacing one #SingleUse item for another isn’t an improvement. We need to look at where we can reduce the volume of packaging and promote reuse, rather than simply substituting plastic for another material.
