SINGLE-USE PLASTIC

THE ISSUE

Every year, we use around 4.7bn plastic straws, 316m plastic stirrers, 7.7bn plastic bottles and 2.5bn coffee cups. British beaches are littered with 5000 items of plastic per mile. And it’s no secret that we need to cut down on our single-use plastic consumption globally, and urgently.
