Hello from the Marketing Dep at Rezolve Kernow.
Well Zero Waste week is here at last and having prepared mentally for it for a while, it still arrived very fast- too fast for me to organise myself over the
weekend! With all good intentions of making a big batch of pasta and sauce (or any food!) that will last me a few days I ended up with beans on toast, the bread brought in from home in a container and beans (they will last another serving and the can is recyclable, one brownie point!).

With snacks reduced to fruit/veg in the office and the chocolate box banished to another room by Sara we welcomed the cake that Sam made.....i believe this was her first attempt at baking.
As the saying goes first impressions aren't everything, it was a low fat cake and tasted very chocolatey and quite nice. It was very diff from a conventional cake, more like a brownie, unfortunately I don't think it travelled too well as it turned out a bit wet, but well done for the effort, I ate all mine...i bet next time its even better!
The main problem with Zero Waste and being in the Marketing Dep is that we get sent subscriptions to newspapers and although we recycle these the packaging is clear plastic bags! I am considering options with these- whether to send them back to the papers to see if they have any recycling policies/practices in place or to research if any companies recycle these. I read in the WMN last week that a company The Electronic Waste Company have a new machine to recycle plastics, they might take these but its a long shot, i'll keep you posted!
I will let you know progress tomorrow....
Bye for now,
Sian

Hi Sian - re the plastic covers on the newspapers, you could see if they can be put into the carrier bag recycling at the local supermarket or send them to Polyprint Mailing Films in Norfolk.

Hope this helps and good luck for the rest of the week.
