Eco Communities are linking with local groups to help our partners bring practical ideas and shared resources to make it easier for communities to live more sustainably. We want residents across Cheshire to reduce waste, reusing what we already have, and caring for our local environment.
We are focusing on the circular economy which is about working together to waste less and use more of what we already have. By sharing, repairing, reusing, refilling, and recycling, communities and businesses can keep resources in use for longer — reducing environmental impact while creating new local opportunities.
Refill
Refill your home products from laundry to shampoo. Find refill options from grains to sweets.
Reuse
Keep items in use for as long as possible. Consider using reusables rather than single use, e.g. event cups and party plates and glasses.
Recycle
Recycle items from kerb side council recycling, to those harder to recycle items as community centres and supermarkets.
Repair
Repair shops from Computers, Phone to dressmakers. Repair Cafe’s and more.
We are living through a climate emergency, but the solutions are already within our reach, right here in our communities.
