Wales is 2nd in the world at recycling. But recycling alone isn't enough to solve the climate crisis. The ‘take-make-use-dispose-repeat’ model is responsible for 45% of emissions globally. With their #BeyondRecycling strategy, the Welsh Government, Llywodraeth, aims to make the circular economy a reality in Wales. https://lnkd.in/eCJ-7kWG

Food waste is estimated to contribute 8-10% of total man-made GHGs. Most household #FoodWaste goes into the general waste collection in the UK, and either ends up in landfill or incinerated. If more food waste was collected separately from households, it would be used to generate power via anaerobic digestion. Home #composting is also a sustainable alternative to disposing of food waste in the general waste bin. 45% of household food waste being is recycled in Wales compared to 17% in the UK, showing what could be achieved across the UK.

45% of GHGs can only be tackled by changing the way we make and consume products and food. Our vision is a thriving world in which climate change is no longer a problem. We work around the globe to tackle the causes of the climate crisis and give the planet a sustainable future - in over 50 countries. Our WRAP Around the Globe event brought together all our teams to celebrate what we're achieved over the past 20 years, and to energise ourselves for scaling that work, to give the planet a sustainable future. We shouldn’t waste our natural resources. Everything we use should be re-used and recycled.

A third of global GHG emissions comes from the food system. Globally, 25–30% of total food produced is lost or wasted. Our research estimates 10.7 million tonnes of food was wasted in the UK in 2021, 6.4 million tonnes coming from households. To reduce #FoodWaste we need to reduce what is wasted in our homes. We are working from farm to fork to transform the global food system, leading the way in tackling food loss and waste, reducing GHG emissions and water use.

11 million tonnes of plastic enter our oceans every year, yet plastic production is set to double in the next decade. Increasing reuse and refill is vital to reducing pollution, but achieving impactful scale requires collaboration across the entire packaging value chain. Through the #UKPlasticsPact, we facilitate this collaboration. Today we’re launching two new guides to help brands and retailers in their decision making and planning, with tools to identify reuse and refill opportunities in their packaging portfolios. We also have new funding to add reuse and refill stations to our Recycle Locator, encouraging consumer participation and higher return rates. Together, we can make reuse and refill mainstream.
