The Sift Styrofoam Meat and Vegetable Tray Recycling Competition closes today. Enter online or send in any Press entries you have left on the kitchen table today (we will check our post box on Monday for any stragglers). We are looking for any ideas that are either sustainable and/or commercial or are artistic and creative.

There have been lots of entries already with a great range of ideas for what we could do to recycle the trays.  From using them in building insulation to garden mulch there are ideas that are both practical and new. Millions of them end up in landfill each year and we can quite easily reduce this by changing our behaviour or finding a way to recycling them.

We are looking forward to picking the two winners in a couple of weeks and all details will be posted here. The Sulo Talbot mini wheelie bin desk tidies are all sitting waiting to be given to the first 100 entries. Kinda cute and really practical. Have one bin for organics, one bin for recyclables (including paper once both sides have been filled) and a little wheelie bin desk tidy for everything else! A great way to reduce your waste!
