Gwnaeth yr amcangyfrifon cynnar hefyd ddatgelu bod y cyfnod clo wedi cael effaith gadarnhaol ar ailgylchu gan fod llawer ohonom yn treulio mwy o amser gartref. Rhwng mis Ebrill a mis Mehefin gwnaethom ailgylchu 19% yn fwy o’n gwastraff o’i gymharu â’r un adeg y llynedd***. Roedd cynnydd o 21% mewn ailgylchu gwastraff bwyd, gan greu digon o ynni i gyflenwi 160,152 o gartrefi teuluol nodweddiadol am ddiwrnod cyfan, neu 1.44 miliwn o oergelloedd am 2.5 diwrnod – un oergell ar gyfer pob cartref yng Nghymru.
Early estimates also revealed that lockdown had a positive effect on recycling as many of us spent more time at home. Between April and June we recycled 19% more of our waste compared to the same time last year***, with food waste seeing a 21% boost, creating enough energy to power 160,152 typical family homes for a whole day, or 1.44 million fridges for 2.5 days – one fridge for every home in Wales.
