We all know recycling has a positive impact on the environment, by keeping materials In The Loop for as long as possible.
But what about the tips and other spaces where recycling happens?
We saw the potential in these sites and have made it our mission to make room for nature.

Your food and garden waste is made into compost
Biodiversity impacts everything we need to survive. Microorganisms enrich the soil where we grow our food. Roots from trees and plants hold the earth together preventing landslides and absorb water to avoid floods. Even the air you’re breathing right now has been improved by plants filtering the toxins out.
A recent report into the State of Nature analysed our local environment and found a shocking decline in biodiversity. Nearly half of biodiversity in the UK has been wiped out since the industrial revolution. More pollution, more buildings, more humans, meant less space for nature.
