Dear EcoTitchfield community,
Have you ever wondered what really happens to the soft plastics you toss in your curbside recycling bin? A recent article from *The Guardian* sheds light on the misleading practices surrounding soft plastic recycling in the UK, revealing that much of it is not recycled but incinerated instead but also explaining the reasons behind these consequences. The stark reality of our lack of knowledge raises crucial questions about our personal contributions to the waste crisis.
In line with our **Greening Titchfield** pillar on waste reduction, we encourage you to listen to the **Talking Rubbish** podcast, hosted by sustainability experts James Piper and Robbie Staniforth. Their engaging discussions break down complex topics surrounding waste management and recycling, making them accessible and informative for everyone.
Each episode tackles different aspects of our waste, including the challenges and innovations in recycling and what we can do to make better choices. By tuning in, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of how to reduce your waste and what steps you can take to contribute positively to our environment.
So, don’t miss out! Read the article to grasp the complexities of curbside waste and follow the **Talking Rubbish** podcast for ongoing insights. Together, we can become more informed and proactive members of our community, making a significant impact on sustainability in our area.
