The UK recycles only 50% of bathroom waste.
That’s why @GarnierUK has partnered with @TerraCycleUK to form the UK’s first free recycling programme for bathroom waste.

Thanks to #Padstow businesses who spent time with @PlasticWaive and @finalstrawcorn today
The vast majority are now using paper straws. Just a handful with biodegradable plastic straws. This definitely doesn’t happen in sea water, it is too cold.
We'll help the switch to paper!
A glorious day in Padstow confirming businesses who no longer serve #plastic straws with the help of Rob & Emily from @PlasticWaive it turned out to be most of them. Whoop whoop!#Padstow @sascampaigns @MandaBrookman @Cornish_PPC
