We're aiming for our town, Llanelli, to become Wales' first ZERO WASTE TOWN.
But we can't make it happen alone.
We need community support, action and involvement.
Our Zero Waste Charter is the first step towards uniting the town.
The Full Circle Project looks to encourage and support action by our community on the journey to Zero Waste.
Welsh government has ambitious targets to reach zero waste by 2050. At its most basic this means zero materials going to landfill but in practical terms, reaching this target will require a big shift in mindset regarding what waste actually means. To make the necessary behavioural changes everyone needs to move away from the concept of ‘waste’ as a fact of life and instead, see ‘surplus’ as a resource out of place. Finding creative and innovative ways of transforming it from a problem to a resource, from a liability into an asset.
The circular economy movement highlights the opportunities that come from moving from the linear making and consuming processes to circular processes that eliminate waste.
Full Circle aims to help build capacity and facilitate action within the community through inspiration, education, empowerment, and coordination.
Engaging the widest range of people from business, education, third sector, faith groups, community and sporting groups as well as individuals.
It looks to engage people via the widest range of endeavours in the realms of politics and civic society, education, science and technology, music and the arts, sport and social activism.
Full Circle is funded by the Esme Fairbairn Foundation and delivered by Foothold Cymru.
