The Recyclotory Laboratory

Our experts at the research laboratory, professor Phineas Nut and Roberta Robot, perform tests and experiments to help rethink packaging in a new light (is that really his own hair!)

From recycling to re-using the old (and not just the jokes), to dealing with disposables (horrible things!), their tests show easier ways to make less rubbish.

Featuring one of our favourite illusions, the impossible pink packaging machine, this difficult subject is drawn into the 'recycling is fun' arena.

The Recyclotory Laboratory Song

(to the tune of "Who Let the Dogs Out")

When I go shopping I try to think,
About the things that we can all recycle.
Disposables I never go near,
I want to keep the world nice and clear.

There’s lots of rubbish phew, phew, phew, phew.
Who’s gonna sort it you, you, you, you.
Let’s get recycling do, do, do, do.
A cleaner world for you, you, you, you.

To make less rubbish I try to reuse,
I don’t need those extra bags or packing.
Rechargable batteries and lots of refills,
So we don’t have those big and nasty landfills

There’s lots of rubbish phew, phew, phew, phew.
Who’s gonna sort it you, you, you, you.
Let’s get recycling do, do, do, do.
A cleaner world for you, you, you, you.

Repeat chorus
