Brits' recycling frustration revealed by new research

Brits are growing increasingly frustrated with loved ones and neighbours for their careless approach to recycling, according to research.

After over a decade of stagnating and declining recycling rates, it has been revealed that more than 79 per cent of people across the UK are regularly frustrated, disappointed or furious with neighbours, partners, and children because they don’t crush or fold their recycling, leading to overflowing bins.

Up to 7.8 million Brits admit to being ‘Folding-Phobic’, saying they don’t fold cardboard, which means items are taking up more space.
