Every 2 hours the UK throws away enough rubbish to fill the Royal Albert Hall
As a nation we currently recycle 27% of this but we could do better!
Incinerating 10,000 tons of waste creates 1 job, to landfill it creates 6 jobs, and to recycle it creates 36 jobs!
Methane from landfill accounted for 40% of total UK methane emissions in 2005
Biowise has helped us increase our recycling rate to 98% and deliver significant financial savings!

1 recycled plastic bottle would save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for 3 hours!
UK recycling in 2006 saved an estimated 18 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions.
That's the equivalent of taking 5 million cars off the road.
