I’ve seen a growing number of products come on the market which are using these clear plastic containers/cans fused to metal tops for selling aesthetically pleasing drinks such as cocktails, matcha, iced coffee and milkshakes.

We aren’t set up for recycling this kind of packaging and creative marketing is causing a headache in our waste streams! Great to see comments from across the industry from James Piper, Adam Herriott, and Ambarish Mitra.

Sometimes there is too much wind for our outdated grid to handle, especially in Scotland and the East of England. Rather than paying wind farms to switch off we’re trialling a new system where people who live near these constrained areas get cheaper - or even free - electricity.

All of this destruction because of a fire that started in a vape shop. Vapes contain lithium ion batteries, which are a huge fire risk when handled wrongly or damaged.

Huge credit to the @SFRSYourSafety and all other emergency services who worked so hard to keep this under control. This has already had a devastating impact on so many businesses who called Union St home, and we all need to step up and support them when they’re back on their feet
