Waste

Recycling one aluminium can will save enough energy to run a TV for two hours.

A Crest Nicholson home not only provides you with internal segregated recycle facilities but also gives you assurance that a strict waste management policy is in place throughout the construction process that ensures waste reduction, reuse and recycling.

Reducing waste Tips

Buy loose fruit and vegetables to save on packaging and avoid pre-packed foods where possible.
Use non-disposable 'bags for life' or durable shopping bags. Plastic bags create unnecessary waste which does not bio-degrade in the earth.
Store biodegradable waste in a compost heap which can be used as fertiliser for the garden.
Give old clothes and household goods to charity shops or collection services.

Facts and figures

According to a report by the Institute for Public Policy Research, the UK is one of the worst recycling nations in Europe.

Britain wastes about £20billion worth of unused food every year. That is equal to five times our spend on international aid.
