Now in its 17th year, Recycle Week is a celebration of recycling, organised by WRAP under the Recycle Now brand.
This year, the theme will thank the nation for continuing to recycle despite the challenges that COVID-19 has presented, under the banner 'Together - We Recycle'.
Helping us to recycle together are Delphis Eco, the UK’s leading manufacturers of environmentally friendly cleaning products. We asked them to give us an insight to how they are celebrating the week.
“As a result of Covid-19, there has been (and still is) a global shortage of bottle closures (trigger sprays, hand soap pumps, and spray pumps). We launched our ‘Tops Off’ campaign to encourage our customers to return their bottle tops so we can repurpose and reuse them in our products - If everyone in the UK recycled just one bathroom cleaner bottle top, it would save enough energy to vacuum 82,460 homes.
To continue to bring the plastic challenge to the forefront, during Recycle Week last year, we commissioned Tim the Turtle (a recycled plastic 30ft high inflatable) to journey around different locations to facilitate discussions around plastic waste, climate change and what we can all be doing to take plastic out of our oceans. Tim journeyed around schools across the UK and our CEO, Mark Jankovich, hosted talks centred around sustainability to engage children from a young age on the plastic challenges we are faced with. We had big plans for Recycle Week 2020, however Covid-19 has slightly impacted these, so we now have Tim doing virtual visits!”
