About us

London Recycles is the recycling campaign for London

London Recycles is supported by the Mayor of London, collaborates with London’s councils and waste authorities, and is managed by ReLondon.

We’re here to help Londoners recycle more things, more often, and we’re also on a mission to encourage Londoners to reduce the amount they consume by keeping their stuff in use for longer through repairing, sharing, and renting.

About ReLondon

ReLondon is a partnership of the Mayor of London and the London boroughs to improve waste and resource management and transform the city into a leading low carbon circular economy.

We are living through a climate emergency. We believe we can catalyse transformational change in London by inspiring and empowering the action of others. We can mobilise our boroughs, businesses, and citizens to change their policies, practices, and behaviours, to revolutionise the way we use stuff.

Together we can change the world.

🥫 Did you know that aluminium cans are infinitely recyclable? They can be reused over and over again without losing quality. And once recycled, they can be back on shop shelves in as little as 60 days?!

#recycling #worldcup

🏆 This year's World Cup is expected to generate enough single-use plastic waste to stretch the length of more than 13,000 football pitches.

The good news? Fans are calling for change. With 74% of Brits saying they want plastic-free packaging at sporting events, the pressure is on for organisers to step up.

Will future tournaments embrace more sustainable solutions, or will single-use plastics continue to score? ⚽
