Follow a bottle from the classroom bin and discover the different journeys waste can take.
Step 1 of 7
The Journey Starts at the Bin
Putting an item in the correct bin helps it begin the right journey. Always follow your school or council’s local rules.
Collection vehicles take waste to different facilities
Recycling, food waste and general rubbish may be collected separately, depending on local services.
At a sorting facility, materials are separated
Our bottle can become something new
Accepted plastic may be sorted, cleaned and processed into small pieces before being made into new products. Not every plastic can use the same route.
Food and garden waste can become compost
At suitable facilities, natural waste breaks down into material that can help improve soil.
Not everything can go in ordinary recycling
Waste routes differ between areas, so checking local guidance matters.
The best rubbish is the rubbish we avoid creating
Use less first, then reuse, repair and recycle whenever the correct service is available.
