GUMDROP ON-THE-GO VOLUNTEERING
From May – September we’ll be trialling a new approach to tackling littering, using the latest
thinking on behaviour change and awareness raising from around the world. With Gumdrop
Ltd we’ll be encouraging chewing gum recycling. They’re the first company in the world to
recycle and process chewing gum into new rubbers and plastics. The products they make
include coffee cups, stationary, mobile phone covers and wellington boots!
We’ll be distributing Gumdrop on-the-go key rings to commuters and employees on Villiers
Street 26th May – 29th May. Once the Gumdrop is full, the whole Gumdrop, along with its
contents, of waste gum will be deposited into a local collection point. People who use the
collection points will be entered into a prize winning competition.
