Reusables: A refocus on the power of reusing a container, with Bianca Cottle","description":"<p>Ever wonder whether you have the ‘right’ to BYO containers to the stores you shop from - especially with the ‘c*vid times hangover’ when single use was insisted upon for safety, it’s time to revisit this topic with Bianca Cottle, founder of byocontainers.org - Let’s refresh our enthusiasm for reusing containers and bringing our own wherever we go - I am first to put my hand up and say I let things slide during this time, in case anyone’s worried I’m perfect (That’s a HARD NO!)&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>In this show, while the focus is on Australian rules, the themes apply to all of us wanting to reduce and reuse more of the things in our lives! We explore:&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><ol><li>The challenges of building a fully sustainable house (something Bianca and her partner have done!)&nbsp;</li><li>How c*vid set us back in many ways whether it comes to progress for people and planet health but what we can learn from it.</li><li>What the actual law is on reusing containers and cups</li><li>Some of the ways we can encourage businesses rather than criticising them, to drive re-use forward faster</li><li>What exactly the label ‘compostable’ means on bio-plastics and whether perhaps it's too good to be true</li><li>The best reusable containers for different occasion types and situations</li></ol><p><br></p><p>And a bunch more. Enjoy the show, share it, and let’s reduce our single-use items big time in the year ahead!
