About this episode

Wayne Hubbard, CEO of ReLondon, is on a mission to help Londoners revolutionise their relationship with stuff.

In this episode we’ll hear from Wayne and his colleague Ali Moore, ReLondon’s Head of Communications and Behaviour Change, about some of the initiatives they’ve taken to help Londoners engage in a circular economy.
