According to the Government’s 2014 Waste from Households statistics, recycling rates in England have almost flatlined, rising just 0.1 percentage point in 2014 compared to the previous year, to 44.2% Businesses and homeowners are involved in finding new ways to reduce waste, reuse and recycle waste, as directed by government legislation.
