23rd February
This March, we're teaming up with Greenpeace UK to run The Big Plastic Count, the UK’s largest investigation into household plastic waste. Our goal is to highlight the urgency and scale of the plastic problem, and empower individuals to play a part in helping solve the plastic crisis.
The Big Plastic Count brief is really simple: count your plastic waste for one week (from 11-17 March) and submit your results to us online. This will automatically generate your personalised household plastic footprint and will help us to reveal how much plastic we are throwing away as a nation, and what really happens to it afterwards. We'll use the results to convince UK ministers to lead the way at global talks that could finally phase out plastic pollution for good.
