Reduce and Reuse

You can Reduce and Reuse by thinking carefully about what you buy at the supermarket while you are doing your shopping. By making slight alterations to your shopping list you can significantly reduce the amount of waste created in and around the home.

As much as possible, avoid disposable products such as nappies, tissues, face wipes, plastic cups, plates and cutlery. Instead try to buy items that can be reused, such as bottles instead of cans, and rechargeable batteries.

Reduce unnecessary waste by avoiding purchases that are not essential and by borrowing and sharing items which are not used often with neighbours. And rather than throwing out CDs and books, give them to friends, a charity shop or a library
