♪ O Come All Ye Wasteful.. ♫

8th December 2022 by Rick Oliver

Eat, drink and be messy

Christmas is a time of celebration, where we enjoy festive food and drink – exchange gifts and visit friends and family. We decorate the home with a variety of decorations and choose the perfect tree Some like to go out, enjoy time away from the workplace, attend festive parties and bring in the new year.

The result of all these festivities mean Christmas is the highest waste producing season – with 72% of Brits admitting that they aren’t conscious of how they dispose of their waste.

Are you a Conscious Christmas Conservationist? Try our quiz!

A typical UK household like yours generates over three black bags of packaging each Christmas.

For example, the Bank of England report that our spending habits change in the run-up to Christmas, and in December the average UK household spends 29% more than is usual. As a result, the amount we waste at home mirrors that closely. Typically, Household waste increases by around 30% during the festive period, making it one of the most wasteful times of the year.
