The environmental expertise you need, all in one place

All of us, whether a public organisation, private enterprise, or individuals in our own homes need to manage our resources more sustainably. The world’s resources are finite and many of our activities today contribute to climate change. The only way we can support future populations is by using resources more efficiently.

Our mission is at the heart of everything we do: To help others to use resources efficiently and effectively; minimising the impact of consumption on the environment now and for the future.

To achieve this, Resource Futures has been working since 1985 with organisations in every sector, providing specialist environmental expertise encompassing:

  • Research

  • Communications and public engagement

  • Monitoring and evaluation

  • Behavioural change

  • Technical consulting

  • Project management

  • Resource efficiency and efficiency reviews

This range of services means we can work with you to address all your needs. You can choose individual services or enjoy a truly joined up solution, providing tangible benefits for the environment and helping you cut costs into the bargain.

Resource Futures helps WRAP understand recent reductions in food waste

Resource Futures has recently helped WRAP to estimate how much household food waste has decreased nationally in recent years, with the recently published “Synthesis of Food Waste Compositional Data 2010” 

Best estimates ever of what’s in our rubbish

Defra has published a study carried out by Resource Futures which provides the best estimates to date of what’s in the ‘national rubbish bin’.

Research into reuse of household items through online portals

In 2011, Resource Futures carried out WRAP funded research into how household items are reused through online portals such as eBay, Freegle and Gumtree.  The research included a detailed survey on internet user habits regarding online exchange and sought to understand the reasons for not using such sites.

Paint: Don’t put it in the shed, give it to Community RePaint instead!

With winter weather fast approaching, many of us will have rolled up our dust sheets and put away our paintbrushes until the new year.  But come the Spring, there’s a good chance that the half tin of paint you saved “just in case” will no longer be fit to use, which is why Community RePaint, the nation’s paint reuse network, is on a mission to rescue the UK’s paint before the winter sets in.
