    Interestingly, I was at a friends wedding in North Wales this weekend and they had a live artist, who would paint a scene from the day for everyone to see.

    What a great surprise to see he was using our products, he complimented the quality and consistency that we always provide allowing him to earn a living doing what he loves.

    Much to my wifes joy, I managed somehow to spend 30 minutes to talk about ‘work’

    It was really fascinating to understand how our products are used by artists in a non-tradtional setting.

    Great piece and was given to the bride and groom that day too.

    Bit of a random post but thought was really interesting
     
    ♻️ Sport meets sustainability. 🏃‍♀️ Trash becomes teamwork.Japan’s hit litter-picking sport is thriving in the UK — and it’s brilliant.Yes, cleaning up is now a competition🥇 Last weekend, Hackney Marshes in east London hosted a Spogomi event—a competitive litter‑picking sport invented in JapanTeams collect and sort trash within 65 minutes for points based on recyclability and item type.What resonated most is the story of Dr Sarah Parry, a doctor and former world champion, who said \”I have run 33 marathons and the sorest my legs have ever been is after winning the Spogomi World Cup two years ago\”She also spoke about how the sport helped her see the litter problem in UK cities for the first time, something she says is far worse than Japan. This blend of sport, strategy, and sustainability is powerful. It has the power to activates people who aren’t typically sustainability-minded, taps into competitiveness, and promotes behavioural change.

      Love this, I do litter picking once a month in my local area and really enjoy it. Making it a competition is another level. …

      This is a great initiative—our planet is in urgent need of actions like this. Our streets, pathways, canals, and rivers are increasingly polluted with rubbish that isn’t being collected, causing serious harm to wildlife and ecosystems.…

Creating Impact Tip
Millions of tonnes of clothing, shoes and other textiles end up in landfill every year because very little is sent for recycling .

“The current fashion system uses high volumes of non-renewable resources, including petroleum, extracted to produce clothes that are often used only for a short period of time, after which the materials are largely lost to landfill or incineration. “This system puts pressure on valuable resources such as water, pollutes the environment and degrades ecosystems in addition to creating societal impacts on a global scale.” There are good reasons to seek out alternatives to chucking clothes in the bin – globally the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions, with textile production alone is estimated to release 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year. Vast amounts of water are also needed to produce the clothes we wear too and the fashion industry is responsible for 20% of global waste water.  At the same time we are buying more clothes than ever – the average consumer now buys 60% more clothing than they did 15 years ago. More than two tonnes of clothing are bought each minute in the UK, more than any other country in Europe. Globally, around 56 million tonnes of clothing are bought each year, and this is expected to rise to 93 million tonnes by 2030 and 160 million tonnes by 2050.

"Reuse. Recycle. Rethink — your clothes deserve a second life, not a landfill."
