A new study reveals that people aren’t recycling their bathroom waste, meaning over 30,000 tonnes of bathroom items are continuing to end up in landfill each year. The research by homeware brand Brabantia found that although 71% of people always recycle in their kitchen only 58% do so in the bathroom - with the main reason being that they are unclear as to what is recyclable and what is not.
What’s more, over a fifth stated it doesn’t even cross their minds to separate bathroom waste, and a quarter of people don’t have the space for a bathroom bin.
The research comes as Brabantia launches a new compact range of its iconic Bo Bins. The new designs and sizes allow Brits to manage waste in every room, regardless of size.
