Wastebusters

Wastebuster is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company that inspires children and young people to care for the environment and make more sustainable lifestyle choices. Founded in 2006, Wastebuster specialises in using entertainment to drive social change, delivering innovative education programmes and high-impact campaigns that promote responsible consumption, aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The Pod (jointhepod.org), Wastebuster’s award-winning schools programme and global campaign platform, helps educators teach sustainability through engaging, curriculum-linked resources and national initiatives such as Switch Off Fortnight, Waste Week, Water Week, What’s Under Your Feet?, and Recycle to Read. These campaigns support responsible resource management and empower schools and communities to take action for a better planet. Today, the Wastebuster/Pod network includes over 78,000 educators and 24,000 schools across 94 countries, reaching more than four million young people and their families each year. Together, we’re helping to unlock the social, environmental, and economic benefits of sustainable living—one school, one student, and one community at a time.
