We all know that plastic pollution is posing a major threat to our oceans. But where does all this ocean plastic come from? Who is responsible? What can be done to stop this happening?

Recycle, recycle, recycle – this is what we are always told about plastic waste. But are we doing enough? Sadly, plastics don’t just disappear and despite our best efforts on a personal level, the plastics we’ve discarded irresponsibly as a country are coming back to haunt us.

Plastic pollution is everywhere, from our seas to our skies. In this blog, we are exploring the phenomenon of plastic pollution in unusual places, helping you understand how it gets there and what you can do to help.

One of the biggest challenges facing us in the 21st century is finding ways to reduce plastic usage – without compromising our standard of living. It’s a different way of thinking altogether, but it’s one that many people are gradually becoming accustomed to.

This year, World Environment Day was extra special for us. We chose this significant day to launch our #BinForGreenSeas, and the 5th June marked the unveiling of our first bin on Blackpool seafront!

If you want to reduce your impact on the plant, cutting down on waste is an important step to take – and coffee cups are a great place to start.

In the UK, the general assumption is that we are perfectly au fait with recycling. But is the picture really as rosy as we think?

We are looking back on our achievements from the last year and celebrating our successes.
