We all seem to have coped with the ban on single use plastic shopping bags when we visit the supermarket. Plastic produce bags are still available for use, (the ones you tear off the roll in the fresh produce section of the supermarket) – but they are next on the list to be banned. Try these easy alternatives instead!
We all know the obvious things such as plastic bottles and takeaway coffee cups are bad for the environment – but what about those things that aren’t so obvious? Here are 6 things that can contain hidden plastic.
Did you get nagged by your kids for sports gear, only for it to be discarded after a couple of months? Or have they just outgrown it? Rather than having it clutter up your home, donate it to a brilliant cause.

More and more of us are switching to online shopping and you may have noticed small sachets of silica gel in some of your parcels. They are there to keep moisture at bay and can easily be reused in really cool ways, rather than going to landfill.
Let’s face it, our socks work pretty hard – they are cooped up in shoes all day, put up with smelly feet, bunions and toenails which are too long – not to mention losing their partner in the wash! It’s no wonder they don’t last too long. The good news is old and unwanted socks can be recycled.

Australians throw away over 18 million printer cartridges a year, and over 5,000 tonnes of materials end up in landfill. When they break apart, they can contaminate groundwater and the environment. Here’s how to recycle them instead.
Whether you buy sports shoes to run a marathon, walk around the block, or take the dog to the park, when they wear out and you throw them in the bin, they are going to landfill. Here’s what you can do with them instead.
Australians love their coffee, but it comes at a cost (on top of the $5.00 you pay for a takeaway). We can’t recycle the cups in the council recycling bin so over one billion takeaway coffee cups end up in landfill each year – but there is a recycling option.
Tyres. We don’t give them much thought (unless we have a flat one!) and we wouldn’t get far without them (literally). But what happens when they reach the end of their life?
The free electric toothbrush recycling programme with Colgate and Terracycle will end on December 31st 2023. You can still download a free label until then and return your items. We will update the information if the program restarts.
