A family from Bury say they've figured out a recycling routine that helps them save money and protect the environment, reports @ManchesterEven. Tommy Lees, and his family, have been named 'Britain's top binfluencers' by Biffa as part of their #RecycleWeek competition. manchestereveningnews.co.uk/… Their tips include 3 different bins in each room, replacing kitchen roll and foil for reusable versions and making use of refill products. Even the family dog, Fetchy the Greyhound, is part of the zero-waste team. He eats leftover food as a treat. How many of their waste-free tips will you be adding to your own routine? #RecycleWeek #RecycleNow #CircularEconomy #FoodWaste #CircularLiving #ReuseRefill

How is food waste turning into energy? ⚡️ Dirty Vegan chef, Mathew Pritchard, takes us behind the scenes at an anaerobic digestion facility at a plant in Aberdare, South Wales, where food waste is converted into green energy. From peelings and bones, to teabags and eggshells, we all agree that food should never go in the rubbish. And in Wales, huge strides are being taken to ensure all waste is repurposed — either to create renewable energy, or recycled into something new. Wales are currently #2 in the world for recycling - second only to Austria. @WalesRecycles has calculated that if everyone in the country puts just one more banana skin in their food waste caddy, Wales could reach #1. 🏆 Their #BeMightyRecycle campaign is raising awareness of how small changes could make all the difference when it comes to #FoodWaste and #Recycling.
