Want to do something about it? This year we have a huge opportunity. The UK government could play a leading role at global negotiations about plastic waste. But first, we need to show our government the scale of the problem.
That’s why we’re launching The Big Plastic Count - the UK’s biggest investigation into household plastic waste. By taking part, you can help us pressure the government to turn off the plastic tap once and for all.
Our video explains how it works. Take a look, and join the Count today.
See what The Big Plastic Count is all about
For just one week – 11-17 March 2024 – households of all shapes and sizes, schools, community groups and businesses all over the country will count their plastic packaging waste and share their results.
It’s simple to take part in The Big Plastic Count. Sign up today and we’ll send you a free counting pack with everything you need for the investigation.
When you submit your data at the end of the Count week, our whizzy data analysts will send you your personal plastic footprint. We’ll use this to form a national picture of the state of plastic waste in the UK today.
Put off by the idea of knowing your plastic footprint? Don’t be. It’s not your fault. Supermarkets and big brands don’t give us much choice about what our food, drink and essentials come wrapped in.
Ministers, supermarkets and big brands need to lead the way in tackling the plastics crisis. This year, when nations come together to agree on a Global Plastics Treaty, they will set new global rules for the production of plastic. With public pressure, they could choose to turn off the plastic tap once and for all.
That’s why we need thousands of households across the UK to take part in the Count and keep the pressure up! Will you join us?
