Wilko, Compostable waste at home, Collectables
Rima Ahmed and guests discuss the fall-out from the Wilko's closure for the high street plus - plus how compostable is compostable packaging?
As many Wilko's stores begin closing their doors we hear from a former employee who started work with the retailer age 16. Plus Diane Wehrle from MRI Springboard and Dr Amna Khan, a senior lecturer in consumer behaviour and retailing at Manchester Metropolitan University, discuss what it all means for the future of the high street.
On 1 October, the Government's ban on certain types of single-use plastics comes into force. To what extent is compostable packaging the solution? Rima talks to Professor Mark Miodownik, who runs the Plastic Waste Hub at University College London, and Hoa Doan from sustainable packaging start-up Notpla.
And as Netflix's King of Collectables confirms its second series, we delve into the emerging world of modern collectables with Andrew Ewbank from Ewbanks Auction House and collector Rob Duffy.
