Glasgow Charity UpHub Recycles Plastic Toys

Lodged by Annie Wells Standard Motion 28 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates UpHub, which is part of Govanhill Bath Community Trust, for recycling donations of no longer wanted children's toys and turning them into new household items; understands that UpHub prides itself on creating 100% recycled items and welcomes it reusing plastic that would otherwise go to a landfill; notes that it can recycle almost any toy, other than items such as small action figures; understands that the items are cleaned and deconstructed and that the plastic is then ground into small pieces, which are later used to make the new objects by melting or casting; acknowledges that it also recycles and upcycles other materials, such as textiles and wood; believes that this is a unique service for Glasgow, and applauds UpHub on playing a part in the global effort to reduce plastic misuse.
