It’s estimated that every year in the UK, we produce 10.7 billion items of packaging waste eating lunch on the go. Alongside that we use 2.5 billion disposable coffee cups, 7.7 billion water bottles and 550 million plastic bags, the vast majority of which is not recycled. Even single use items labelled as ‘biodegradable’ are not necessarily any better, as they often need to be processed in an industrial composting facility. Instead, why not buy reuseable items - they may cost a little more initially but you’ll save money and reduce waste in the long run!
