Let’s waste less and reuse, repair, share and recycle more

We are living through a climate emergency, but the solution to the climate crisis is within our collective grasp.

The climate emergency is caused by global heating, in turn caused by CO2e emissions. 45% of those emissions come from all the food, materials and products that we make, use and consume every day – what we call ‘stuff’.

To tackle the worst impacts of the climate emergency we need to reduce these consumption-based emissions, which means we need to reduce waste, increase recycling and improve resource efficiency. We could make a massive reduction in emissions by transforming how we make, use and dispose of ‘stuff’ – we need a global shift to a circular economy.

This is the essence of circular economy thinking – this is what we do.
