Members get creative to help us remember to Clean it Scrunch it Co-op it

Co-op Members have been getting involved to learn more and encourage others to recycle soft plastics at their local Co-op store.

From taking part in our recycling ‘Odd one out’ quiz, amazing family and friends with some incredible recycling facts, and getting creative by joining in with the first of our Clean it Scrunch it Co-op it challenges, thousands of Co-op Members have been spreading the word about our new recycling scheme.

Up for the challenge

We asked members to come up with a catchy way for people to remember the top 5 soft plastics – bread bags, crisp packets, fruit and veg bags, pasta bags and pizza film – now recyclable at Co-op.

And they didn’t disappoint!

From poems, jingles, song lyrics, pictures and mnemonics, members have been having fun to help everyone remember in an unforgettable way.

So, we thought we’d share our favourites with you. Click on the video below to see some of the best member-made memory aids we’ve received.

There are many ways that Co-op Members can get behind our initiative, take part in a fun challenge, and help us spread the recycling and sustainability message this summer. Find out how you can get involved by clicking here. https://www.coop.co.uk/membership/join-in
