Who Are We?

I was 20 when I realised that I wanted to work in recycling and environmental education whilst attending a workshop about food packaging with a school in Lancashire.  I’ve worked in waste management for the past 17 years in all sorts of backgrounds but always with an interest in education and engagement.  I absolutely love the industry and the way that it constantly changes and progresses, I’m particularly interested in the technology that we utilise as an industry and how this is applied.  I think my interest in reducing food waste comes from my love of cooking and being taught to cook by my Nan who would never let anything go to waste.

Food waste and industry technology

I am new to the Waste Less team so every day is a school-day, however, I love to learn about all things recycling!

I have recently moved house which came with a very overgrown garden, so I am passionate about learning how to compost and grown my own food!
