A recycling manager for the London Borough of Hackney delivering circular economy services and personally practicing a zero waste lifestyle with his husband. In 2019 they took on the #1bin1year challenge, and were featured in The Guardian. Ander has spent the last two decades bringing about behaviour change at a local level, and he’d like to see a refill and packaging free shop in every street.
