Recycling is great, and there's even more we can do to stop waste! ♻️ Using stuff again and again is a great way to extend the lifespan of items and save money by not buying new. Simple fixes through repair or upcycling can breathe new life into your stuff and make you fall in love with it all over again! 🔨 We're so lucky to have a wealth of repair cafes, events and services in London to mend our clothes, electronics, bikes and more - check out our Repair Directory via the link in bio! 🔁 Upcycling doesn't have to be daunting. Painting an old piece of furniture can be a simple way to give it a new lease of life. #ButWeCanDoBetter #recycling #recyclinglondon #zerowaste

Recycling is great, and there's even more we can do to stop waste! ♻️ More things can be recycled than ever before, and more of us are committed to recycling them - in fact, 90% of us regularly recycle. We think this is brilliant, and what's better is that we can make an even bigger impact by buying less and using stuff again, and again, and again. This is even more important the run up to #BlackFriday as we're reminded about the massive amounts of stuff that we buy and may only use a few times before not needing or wanting it anymore. We're pleased to support @keepbritaintidy's campaign and share tips on how to make the most of our belongings. To kick off, check out the ways you can rehome your unwanted items.
