Big Plastic Count

bpcIn 2022, the first Big Plastic Count used citizen science to show that almost 100 billion pieces of plastic are thrown away in the UK each year, with hardly any of it recycled.

This has become an annual event, but there's a good reason why you might want to get involved in this year’s Big Plastic Count:  In 2024, governments will be at the negotiating table for a Global Plastics Treaty, aiming to pave the way for a worldwide reduction in plastic production.

This time around, Greenpeace and Everyday Plastic be using the results of the count to convince UK politicians to lead the way at the UN talks and push for a really strong treaty. It’s a massive opportunity, and your participation can help make a significant impact!
