Chalmers teams with Recycle Now and Clear on Plastics for new campaign

March 29, 2022

The campaign, Repeat the Cycle, is addressing a common problem experienced across the UK – the thousands of tonnes of plastic bags and wrapping which are not currently collected for recycling at kerbside and are lost to landfill.

With more than 84% of local authorities collecting plastic bottles, tubs, pots and trays at kerbside for many UK residents, but less than 20% collecting plastic bags and wrappings. Around a whopping 290,000 tonnes of plastic wrapping goes in UK bins each year – destined for landfill and incineration.

Whether it’s bread bags, crisp packets or salad bags more than 4,000 UK supermarkets across the UK have now introduced recycling collection points within store for these ubiquitous bags and wrapping. All are linked with Recycle Now to help people find their nearest recycling point on the Recycling Locator.

JJ Chalmers said: “I’m thrilled to be supporting Recycle Now to help get the word out on recycling plastic bags and wrapping. It’s a passion of mine to keep stuff like plastics in use and out of the environment – that’s why I do a lot of work on upcycling. So, I think it’s fantastic that we can now gather up our plastic bags, wrapping, and films, and bring them back to the store each time we shop. It’s a simple habit that will make a huge difference to our impact on the natural environment.”
