Did you know that 91% of plastic isn't recycled?!
Recycling is one of the easiest things we can do to help the environment, yet it's made so confusing and difficult that global recycling rates are pretty poor.
Polly Griffiths from The Sustainability Trust tells Harriet what happens to recycled items once they've been collected, what we do wrong with recycling and how we can
improve our own recycling methods at home or in the workplace.
As landfills are overflowing across the world, they also discuss some of the problems with the current system and what we can do outside of just putting the right things in the bin to help bring about change.
If you have a question about recycling, it's probably answered here!
