Involved in the project are the Buckinghamshire Council, waste management company FCC Environment, South Bucks Hospice and Aylesbury prison. Since its launch in 2016, the programme has grown significantly. As well as the 260 refurbished two-wheelers, comprising 145 adult and 115 child bicycles, 3.5 tonnes of waste has been recycled and \u00a318 000 (EUR 21 000) raised from bicycle sales for the hospice.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative collects discarded bikes from local scrapyards. At the prison, repairable bikes are restored in a dedicated workshop while unrepairable ones are stripped for parts. The refurbished bikes are sold at reuse shops. According to Neil Hawes, the prison representative, the project has had a big impact on inmates. \u2018The men working here take great pride in knowing that the bikes they fix go to such a meaningful cause. The skills they gain are invaluable, turning neglected items into something cherished.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>FCC Environment\u2019s ceo Steve Longdon underlines the programme\u2019s broader significance: \u2018This initiative not only tackles waste and provides inmates with valuable skills but also generates crucial funds for South Bucks Hospice and their incredible work with people at the end of their life.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/recyclinginternational.com\/business\/business-news\/inmates-upcycle-bicycles-for-hospice\/59044\/\">Recycling International<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-634\/\">Inmates upcycle bicycles for hospice<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[6628,575,17085,4720],"class_list":["post-135674","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-bicycle","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-hospice","tag-prison"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135674","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135674"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135674\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135674"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135674"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135674"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
