Robbie is back from a Global Expert Mission to South Africa, where he explored the challenges and innovations shaping plastic recycling and sustainability. In this episode, he shares eye-opening insights from his trip, from the realities of landfills and the role of waste reclaimers to the impact of voluntary Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes and how businesses are embracing recycled content. Plus, how are ink cartridges collected, are cotton buds rubbish or not, and we have been asked why paper ice cream tubs can be collected at home if coffee cups can't be?
