A good way to clear a few slow moving stock items in the circular economy. Especially wet strength and multi layer-soft plastics etc.

CalRecycle has released key building blocks for California’s groundbreaking law to cut single-use plastic and packaging waste. Packaging makes up over 50% of what we throw away by volume and is a major contributor to climate and trash pollution. #sustainablepackaging #recyclability #packaging #sustainability #circulareconomy #recycledmaterials #resourceefficiency

One of the great terms that one of my clients uses all the time is “fit for purpose” I agree with him. Far too often I see massive waste strategies and circular economy action plans that are merely “cookie cutter” plans with the same ambitious but never achievable goals.   The information contained in many documents is cumbersome and far too complex. Also, there is the obligatory list of bold statements that are missing the key ingredient….. funding. Nevertheless, how can one set of “cookie cutter” goals in an urban area be the same as a small regional town? but they often are.  Can we be surprised that twelve months later, the plans are twelve months behind schedule?  Targeted and specialised action plans are far better. Having said it can go “off the rails” so quickly.  Just over a week before this photo was taken I was advocating the removal of plastic waste from the waste facility area with an increased focus on the container refund program.  I think my “fit for purpose” program needs a rethink!
