WASTE
Our current consumption of resources and throwaway habit is not sustainable.
We are working to reduce waste in Merton through championing reusing, refilling, repairing and recycling. We want to see a shift towards a more circular economy where resources are conserved, valued and kept in the loop.
Simple changes in behaviour and the decisions we make each day can have a big impact. Act now to protect what you love.
Our projects & campaigns
I wish we could extend our ingenuity to encourage a mass step change – reducing and reusing at a rate that surpasses landfill and incineration.
With the volatility of recyclable materials often making single-use materials cheaper for manufacturers to produce will we get to a stage quick enough to realise that the environment is worth more than money? As ever I will keep my fingers crossed for humankind."
