I don't need to read instructions, oh no, not me, I press go and everything works, or not as the case is when you make your competition only available in America! So much for reducing airmiles and such. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like an interesting little concept and I'm sure come the likes of these big festivals it could certainly be profitable. There's a massive push on sustainability at the moment and there seems zero competition. When you think of the likes of the amount we've just gone through at TT, there certainly should be a market for it. Best of luck with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve been looking for something like that for wine but it’s difficult to maintain our sustainability standards (delivery miles & supporting the local economy wise) as a lot of these things are drop shipped and made in places a long long way away The plastic cups we have are made in UK, our bunting is made of mostly repurposed fabric, in fact I’m currently sewing and sewing in the garden - wfh happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see them around. It might just be because I like drinking beer out of cans though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bees Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 According to the website they have depots in the UK - wanna set up an aluminum can recycling plant? We’d probably have enough empties between us to make it work 😂 (I do love to give myself bad publicity, my recycling bins are full of yoghurt pots and sausage trays, suppose yours are too- sorry) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc.fixit Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Where can we get rid of /re-cycle/sell aluminium cans? I crush and save them and now have a large bin bag full......( I just wanted to make a can crusher really but it works so well and the younger g/kids have fun every time they visit crushing cans) 😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2bees Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Some days I have cooked sausages for breakfast, other days I have yoghurt and granola (the Spoon one with pecans and coconut) & then there’s the other times when I get crazy and shake open yoghurt pots all over my back passage 😳 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
