- Read: What a waste: our study shows almost half of electricals sent for recycling could be reused
- The Restart Project set up in a Household Waste Recycling Centre (in Brent, London).
- Assessed the reusability of products being brought in for recycling.
- Shocking results: almost 50% could have an easy second life (either fully functional as is, or in need of only minor repair).
- There needs to be less focus on recycling, and much more on reuse and repair.
- Filtering and diverting initiatives should be mandatory.
