Too much plastic ends up incinerated, in landfill or ‘leaked’ by other means into the environment. The socio-environmental implications are stark. We’re exploring the material, economic and social ‘realities’ of plastic waste and testing a solution – ‘One Bin’ for all plastics.

If the below takes your fancy - check out the @OneBinUoM outputs: sustainablefutures.mancheste…. These explain why consistency is so important for plastics recycling and what it will take to get it across the board. @UoMPolicy @MCRSociology @ManchesterSCI @DrHEHolmes
'What you need is consistent policy so it's clear what goes in what bin, how it will be treated, & how it should be prepared,' @TorikHolmes on whether tethered bottle caps will improve plastic recycling. @uomsoss @UoMSust @ManchesterSCI @DrHEHolmes

Understand more about how confusing and contradictory messages make recycling our plastic waste WAY more complicated than it needs to be. @TorikHolmes @DrHEHolmes & @KrisKortsen of @OneBinUoM explain all in this week's @ConversationUK article

Bit of behind the scenes footage from Stockport Market - sadly no prizes for getting your plastics in the right bin, just the knowledge that you are getting your recycling right! Imagine how much easier it would be if there was just #OneBin for all plastics... Checkout @OneBinUoM – at Manchester, England
Get the box on!!! We're on TV this morning.
Coming up this morning on @BBCMorningLive, @DrHEHolmes talks recycling with @OJBorg, and helps the public at Stockport Market work out what can actually go in their recycling bins. Find out more about @OneBinUoM research here: sustainablefutures.mancheste…

Here's a piece in the @ConversationEDU from the @OneBinUoM team on why we need a crackdown on confusion over “wishcycling” to improve recycling - theconversation.com/the-uks-… @DrHEHolmes @KrisKortsen @SMI_Hub @SustainableUoM @ManchesterSCI @MCRSociology
We've just published an article via @ConversationUK following the recent 'wishcycling' news, feel free to get involved in the debate!
