Our in-house Eco Mouse at Sunderland headquarters has been keeping an eye on what we have been putting in our bins lately and reminding us how our recycling efforts help our outdoor playground.

He shared with us some interesting Eco facts...a few nicely tied into the outdoors!

Every eight months the UK produces enough waste to fill Lake Windermere

It takes just 25 litre drink bottles to make one adult sized fleece

It takes 2 plastic soft drink bottles to make enough polyester fibre for a baseball cap

The ten warmest years in the last 130 have all occurred since 1978

Each tonne of recycled paper can save 17 trees

Remember, recycle to save our outdoor playground!
