HOW TO GET YOUR COLLEAGUES INVOLVED

Lots of UK workplaces are looking for practical ways to cut waste and reduce their impact. The Big Plastic Count offers a simple, meaningful way to do both.

Treat it like a team-building exercise and get everyone at work counting. You'll help us collect evidence that will show the true scale of the plastic problem. We'll then use this evidence to push the government to cut plastic.
