Expertise from the re-use and recycling sector is key in informing product design and end of life. Our Re-use and retailers signatory pack is a quick step tour of what Re-use and recycling organisations can expect as signatories of Textiles 2030, covering reasons to get involved, our ambitions and targets, as well as how to participate and what this entails.

Affiliates of Textiles 2030 can accelerate important change in the UK textiles sector through research, innovation and systems design, forming partnerships within the business community and informing legislation. Our Affiliates signatory pack is a quick step tour of what Affiliates can expect as signatories of Textiles 2030, covering reasons to get involved, our ambitions and targets, as well as how to participate and what this entails.

Produced in association with RECOUP this provides and highlights priority issues reported by those sorting and reprocessing rigid plastic packaging, together with solutions.

PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is a type of resin and a form of polyester; it is commonly labelled with the code on or near the bottom of bottles and other containers. PET has some important characteristics such its strength, thermo-stability, gas barrier properties and transparency. It is also lightweight, shatter-resistant and recyclable.

This guidance provides tips for specifying and designing paper and board packaging that can be reprocessed in mills that use standard pulping technology. It will help designers and manufacturers to improve the recyclability of more challenging material, in order to increase the quantity and quality of recycled paper.

WRAP is a charity promoting a resource-efficient future. 

Increasing the amount of food surplus that is redistributed from food businesses is a key strand of the strategy to reduce food waste, to deliver the Courtauld Commitment 2025 (Courtauld 2025) target and ultimately the Sustainable Development Goal 12.3. There has been a significant increase in activities aimed at achieving this, with good progress being made over recent years (Surplus Food Redistribution in the UK; 2015 to 2017).

This document provides a summary of the methodology for the Household Simulation Model (HHSim).

These appendices provide supporting information to the Household food waste collections guide.

The following organisations have committed to the Food Waste Reduction Roadmap and the Target, Measure, Act principles.

This guidance provides detailed advice and practical examples on approaches for measuring food waste in effluent streams, primarily for food producers and manufacturers, supporting delivery of the UK’s Food Waste Reduction Roadmap.

WRAP’s mission is to accelerate the move to a sustainable, resource-efficient economy through:

• re-inventing how we design, produce and sell products
• re-thinking how we use and consume products
• re-defining what is possible through re-use and recycling
