We are working hard to change society's relationship with waste.
We would describe ourselves as a zero waste organisation, guided by the waste hierarchy and very excited about the opportunities a circular economy promises.
Zero Waste is a philosophy that encourages the redesign of resource life cycles so that all products are reused. No rubbish is sent to landfills or incinerators, eventually eliminating all discharges to land, water or air that are a threat to human, animal or plant health.
To achieve this we adhere to the waste hierarchy (see diagram above).
A good example of this is our partner organisation Bridge 5 Mill, just a few miles away. They refurbished a dilapidated old mill using reclaimed and re-purposed items and recycled construction materials.
