Reuters Interview: Zero Waste Movement in the UK

Updated: Mar 4, 2021

Last week Reuters came to interview us on zero waste. To me the easiest message to convey on how to go zero waste is by refilling and reusing. Reducing is the first choice, but it is the hardest one to explain in a way. Refilling is linked to an activity that can be easily understood. Once you refill you can’t go back.



Before my recycling manager job in Hackney, I used to work in @greenpeaceuk , and I am keen to push their campaign to get supermarkets to include more refill points or ‘plastic free aisles’. These exists in other countries, and they have started to trial them in the UK thanks to Catherine’s team in @unpackaged The one thing I keep telling those that don’t have access and want refill points in supermarkets is to ask for it, demand change, show there is a market for it.




Happy Refilling!
