-   Read: [[What a waste: our study shows almost half of electricals sent for recycling could be reused]]
    -   [[The Restart Project]] set up in a Household Waste Recycling Centre (in Brent, London).
    -   Assessed the reusability of products being brought in for recycling.
    -   Shocking results: almost 50% could have an easy second life (either fully functional as is, or in need of only minor repair).
    -   There needs to be less focus on recycling, and much more on reuse and repair.
    -   Filtering and diverting initiatives should be mandatory.
