Rethink Waste is a free scheme available to anyone living in Surrey that offers a range of rewards for reducing waste. You can recycle a huge amount of items such as wood, light bulbs and hangers at our three recycling centres. We are empowering residents to recycle more and contaminate less, with an aim to improve our recycling rates across the borough. The first year has made a great impact, but there’s still time to get involved. Through Rethink Rubbish and taking part in carbon saving activities, Elmbridge residents have prevented 1.438T CO2e from entering the atmosphere. A second round of donations has also just come to an end with another five Elmbridge schools getting a share of the £1,000 funding, based on the number of points they have raised.
Editors select a small number of articles recently published in the journal that they believe will be particularly interesting to readers, or important in the respective research area. The aim is to provide a snapshot of some of the most exciting work published in the various research areas of the journal. Feature papers are submitted upon individual invitation or recommendation by the scientific editors and must receive positive feedback from the reviewers. Sustainability is a key component of The Australian Curriculum and the Early Years Learning Framework. Children are encouraged to think about recycling and developing sustainable habits from an early age.
When managing waste in construction, we need to be mindful of the long-term effects it will have on the environment as we are already at the point where no change now means we may never see a marked improvement in the climate crisis. So what are some of the implications of managing waste in construction so poorly? On top of these deficiencies, approximately 40% of all produced food is wasted throughout the farm to fork processes, while more than 900 million people remain undernourished. Participants of all ages completed household waste audits so they could compare data as part of a community data set. Together, we gained a deeper understanding of the materials we use on a daily basis, and tools such as plastic shredders, sheet presses and laser cutters. To coincide with Global Recycling Day, KWMC The Factory has released a free, family-friendly magazine filled with stories and advice for reducing household waste – and getting creative while you do it.
Schools – At two points during the scheme, schools in Surrey will join the scheme to win a share of a pot of funding to help them carry out an environmental project. When schools donations are open, Rethink Waste members can donate their points to the school of their choosing. In this book, we look at easy everyday ways children can make sustainable choices. The options provided are accessible to children for an empowering learning experience. All the schools did brilliantly, with Grovelands Primary School topping the leader board.
So, not only are you saving money and impacting the environment more positively – but you are beginning a more circular economy of using less, using for longer and using things again. If everyone adopts this way of managing waste in construction, we would see a marked improvement. Manuscripts should be submitted online at by registering and logging in to this website. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Through the conservation of resources, the strengthening of the social fabric, and the development of new value chains, RETASTE supports the implementation of the Circular Economy concept. Campaigns last year included celebrity endorsements from the impressionist Alistair McGowan and former swimmer Sharron Davies and a giant bin capable of speeds up to 15mph, seen by half a million people. Mr Haugh said that the giant bin will feature again in this year’s campaign, appearing at Rethink Rubbish roadshows. Currently, our recycling rate sits at 32%- which is mid table for London and is higher than all our neighbouring boroughs. We need our recycling rate to improve across all neighbourhoods of Waltham Forest, to make a real difference.

As we mentioned, a lot of construction waste ends up in landfill where it takes an extremely long time to break down – if at all. This means more emissions being produced and a larger carbon footprint for the industry as a whole. In fact, it’s estimated that as much as 50% of all waste in England is from activity within this sector. This is despite the fact that up to 90% of it could be recycled or reused. This new report commissioned by the Environmental Services Association Educational Trust (ESAET) and the Environmental Services Association shows that waste crime in England incurs losses to the legitimate waste industry and the taxpayer of £604 million a year. Editor’s Choice articles are based on recommendations by the scientific editors of MDPI journals from around the world.
Innovation is the name of the game and we’re looking forward to finding more examples to surprise and excite you about reusing waste. How many of our blog followers find themselves throwing fruit and veg away because it hasn’t lasted as long as it should. We’re encouraged to buy in bulk because it’s often cheaper but this is actually a false economy as some of it gets thrown away when the items have gone past their best. These sheets of paper keep your fruit and veg fresher for 2-4 times longer due to an infusion of organic spices. One sheet placed in your fridge drawer will stay active for up to one month. And now many companies are also showing their concern for the future of our planet and developing innovative new ways to use what we throw away.
