How to recycle

Here in Wales we’re making great progress at working towards the ambitious target of becoming a zero-waste nation by 2050, with 95% of us already keen recyclers. But to make zero waste a reality, we’ll have to add a few more ‘Rs’ to our routine – not just recycling, but reducing and reusing as well.

Wales is currently second in the world for recycling, which is pretty incredible if you ask us. However, we know that Wales is more than capable of reaching number one. Even though 94% of us recycle regularly, half of us don’t put recyclable items in our recycling. It’s also been found that a quarter of the average rubbish bin is made up of food waste - and 83% of this could have been eaten.

Recycling is easy and most of us are recycling as much as we can. Follow our simple steps and start recycling today.
