Myakka, fair trade retailer in Somerset, recycle all their cardboard, paper and general kitchen waste (like milk cartons and coffee tins).
That’s why supporting Recycle Week was easy, so they thought!
Georgie Hopkins, director for Myakka says “We reuse and then recycle all our paper. We support our community resource centre, The Scrapstore in Yeovil, that collect our surplus bubble wrap and string. As a business we actually don’t create much waste. That got us really thinking about what else we could do to support Recycle Week.”
As part of Recycle Week, companies and individuals can make a pledge to waste less and recycle more. As Myakka are already quite good at recycling, their pledge is to compost all their teabags! This definitely sounds like a good excuse to drink more tea while they think up more ways to improve Myakka’s reducing, reusing and recycling!
