GLAD Degradable Waste Report

To focus interest on their recently new introduced product, degradable garbage bags, Glad is revealing a report on waste.

The GLAD Degradable Waste Report has revealed some key insights into Australian’s green credentials around the home, uncovering our worst habits, misconceptions and areas where we can most improve when it comes to living greener.

According to the research, nine out of ten Australians admit they could be doing more around their homes to reduce their impact on the environment with 74% noting that they are still uncertain about which materials can be recycled.

On a more positive note, the GLAD Degradable Waste Report goes on to reveal that Australians are keen to reduce their environmental footprint and would welcome information on the steps they can take to do this.

The overwhelming consensus among those surveyed was that more should be done to encourage recycling, with over 60 per cent of Australians eager to see councils make recycling easier, stronger government incentives and greater access to information and education about recycling.
Reduce your waste as much as possible by having chickens for the foodscraps, or a worm farm, or a compost heap or all of the above like me. And for the packaging you can't recycle use Glad degradable garbage bags instead of the plastic bags you get at the supermarket, take your own bags!
