What More UK has been providing the younger generation with insights into its plastic manufacturing. The Altham factory opened its doors to 18 local scouts, who were impressed by the scale of the factory and its technology.
Matt Hand, production manager at What More UK reported: “We wanted to show the children how the items they use every day are created, teach them a bit of the science behind it and also explain the importance of recycling.”
What More UK gave storage boxes to the scout group from its new Upcycled range (made from items like plastic bottles, yoghurt pots and pot noodles) and every child received a small Upcycled box, a lunch box and a re-useable folding water bottle, encouraging them to ditch single use plastics.
What More staff also visited a local primary school (Peel Park) recently to talk to pupils about plastic waste in the environment. The pupils were particularly impressed with Wham’s Banknote box, made from waste products when producing banknotes.
