Selden’s Solution
In the battle to be more sustainable, Selden Research believe they have come up with the Solution to needless plastic bottle recycling.
Plastic pollution on land and in marine environments is a global issue. Whether deliberate or accidental, litter ends up polluting our streets as well as oceans, seas, lakes and waterways as a result of inadequate waste management or simply undesirable human behaviour. The harmful effects of litter have multiple environmental, economic and social consequences.
Recycling and landfill
Worldwide, 32% of plastics escape recycling and collection systems, according to an Ellen MacArthur Foundation report. Across all sectors, including both retail and B2B, the UK recycling rate was estimated at only 51% in 2018, and of all the collected plastic fit for recycling in the United Kingdom, just 35% is actually recycled in the UK. The balance is exported for processing.

the production process sees it blown at heavier weights. Very, very low levels of plastic cleaning chemical bottle recycling end up taking place, and with so much going to landfill, it’s clear the impact that our industry has on the environment can’t be cancelled out just by following recycling procedures.
If our industry is to make a difference, then we need a truly sustainable solution.
