Carbon saved by reusing your things

Finding other uses for our things rather than consigning them to the bin not only saves them from the horrors of a landfill site, it saves on resources too as we now don't have to buy that extra thing we've found a use for.

Based on a range of data, we've calculated that the carbon embedded within an average product, hence the carbon saved by not having to buy a new product and reinventing what you have instead, is approximately 9.73 kg per item. See here for the methodology behind this figure.
