Why go plastic free?

All the plastic cups, bottles, bags, straws and  takeaway containers that we use for just a few minutes,

use a material that has been designed to last forever.

 

These plastics:

 

  • break up, not break down  becoming permanent pollution

 

  • are mostly downcycled (made into low grade product for just one more use) or sent to landfill or incinerated

 

  • ‘escape’ from bins, trucks, events etc. to become ‘accidental litter’

 

  • end up in waterways and the ocean, where scientists predict there will be more tonnes of plastic than tonnes of fish by 2050

 

  • transfer to the food chain carrying pollutants with them

 

  • increase our eco-footprint - plastic manufacturing consumes 6% of the world’s fossil fuels
