STATISTICS show that the UK cares more about the environment than ever before as nearly every home regularly recycles.

Nine out of ten homes are reported to take recycling seriously according to WRAP UK.

Peter Maddox, Director, WRAP UK, said: “It’s fantastic to see that despite everything that has been thrown at them this year, more people than ever in the UK are taking responsibility for protecting the environment by choosing to recycle.

"This is something we can all do, wherever we live – an individual action that, when performed by everyone, adds up to a huge change."
