Welcome to our Sustainability Hub
The place where you can find a range of hints, tips and guides about how to adopt a lifestyle which is kinder to the planet. Change might feel overwhelming, but even only changing or even trying one or two swaps can make a big difference. “We don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly.”
We’ve refilled an estimated 100,000 food and liquid containers since opening 2022!
In 2024, our Liquid Refill station sold 2,455kg of products including conditioner, non-bio & washing up liquid. That’s the same weight of a standard farm tractor!
In 2024, our Food Refill station sold 744kg of products including rice, bombay mix, oats, porridge & lentils. That’s the same weight as a fully grown British Hereford Female Cow!

- 12% of plastic is recycled in the UK.
- 17% of plastic is exported overseas.
- 25% of plastic ends up in landfill.
- 46% of plastic ends up being incinerated.
