Question 1 Report
When a local sports club holds matches, it sells drinks in disposable plastic bottles. A nearby recycling business has offered to collect the bottles, but the club would need volunteers to sort them after each match. The club's committee wants to improve its environmental performance.
(a) Identify one environmental benefit of recycling the bottles. [1]
(b) Explain one reason why volunteers may be important to this plan. [2]
(a) [1] Recycling means fewer bottles are sent to landfill. It can also reduce the need for new raw materials.
