Why recycling your food waste should be your new environmental habit
While reducing the amount of food waste is absolutely necessary, the final destination of what does go in the bin is just as important.
Can I recycle Christmas cards?
As a nation that uses close to one billion Christmas cards each festive season, the question of recycling Christmas cards is one that arises every year.
Cut The Wrap (and the cr@p) this Christmas
Once again, First Mile is urging people in the UK to ‘cut the wrap and the cr@p’ this Christmas as new poll reveals over 70% of people are concerned about additional waste created during the festive period, yet over a fifth have thrown away a Christmas present without even opening or using it
Green Friday vs Black Friday
This November, First Mile joins the movement to support Green Friday and promote responsible consumption that benefits the Circular Economy.
