The Big Plastic Count – 9th March 2026 – 15th March 2026
During a week in March, numerous schools, households, community groups, and businesses will unite to tally their plastic waste.
In 2022, nearly 250,000 individuals participated in The Big Plastic Count, uncovering that close to two billion pieces of plastic packaging are discarded each week. This year, your participation can contribute to gathering more evidence, urging UK ministers to take a leading role in global discussions that might ultimately bring an end to plastic pollution. You can register on their website to take part.
I took part in 2024!
