Do you recycle?

What about actively reducing and reusing plastic products?

THE UK INITIATIVE FOR PLASTIC WASTE REDUCTION has the objective to work towards all plastic packaging being recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2025 with a target of eliminating all avoidable plastic waste by the end of 2042.

Eddie Stableford had a revelation when leaving a street fair a couple of years ago. Seeing waste bins overflowing with food cartons he decided there had to be a better way to deal with the waste and that he wanted to be part of the solution.

Using his knowledge and many years experience of the food industry, Eddie founded Street Food Box Ltd in Feb 2020 and is actively involved in helping the industry change and adopt better habits.

The UK Plastics Pact is a trailblazing, collaborative initiative that will create a circular economy for plastics bringing together businesses from across the entire plastics value chain with UK governments and NGOs to tackle the scourge of plastic waste.
