It’s fair to say that we’re all pretty switched on when it comes to recycling our everyday household waste - glass bottles, tin cans and newspapers - but have you ever wondered what you’d do with your plastic kayak when it breaks or when it’s too old and worn to pass on?
During the week, Beth Ripper works as a Waste Management Consultant, helping organisations to find the best ways to manage their materials and reduce their waste. At the weekends, she’s a keen white-water kayaker and she wondered why the two roles couldn’t mix! Beth wanted to find out what we were doing to minimise waste associated with our sport and see how our manufacturers, retailers and local authorities have been supporting waste reduction and recycling initiatives.
