WRAP and it's partners have made impacts around the resource efficiency loop.

Our impact

WRAP's work with its partners is making a visible, measurable difference to the way the UK uses and thinks about resources.

WRAP's vision is a world without waste, where resources are used sustainably.

We work with businesses and individuals to help them reap the benefits of reducing waste, develop sustainable products and use resources in an efficient way.

Waste prevention

Whether at home or at work, reducing the amount of waste we produce is the most effective thing we can do to protect our natural resources, cut costs and reduce our carbon footprint.

Collecting and sorting

Helping people recycle as much of their waste as possible is key to reducing the amount of rubbish currently being sent to landfill, and reducing the need to extract virgin materials.

Recycling and reprocessing

For the resource efficiency loop to work smoothly there must be sufficient capacity in the UK recycling and reprocessing sector to create demand for recyclable material.

Market development

Recycling material through efficient processes, which then create high-value products, is only possible if there are markets for those products.

A world of difference
