SUMMARY:The Big Plastic Count
DESCRIPTION:Join the UK’s largest investigation into household plastic waste\, where participants count plastic packaging for one week. \nWhat You’ll Learn\nUnderstand plastic waste volumes and recycling rates; gather data to inform supply chain sustainability; contribute to advocacy for reduced single-use plastics and policy changes like bans on exports. \nWho Should Attend\nBusinesses generating plastic waste\, sustainability managers\, schools\, community groups\, households \nAbout the Event\nThe Big Plastic Count is a citizen science initiative run by Greenpeace UK and Everyday Plastic. Participants from households\, schools\, communities\, and businesses count their plastic packaging waste over one week to reveal the scale of the UK’s plastic crisis and pressure the government for action on plastic pollution. Previous counts showed UK households produce nearly 100 billion pieces of plastic packaging annually\, with only 12% recycled domestically. The 2026 count aims to gather more evidence amid global plastics treaty negotiations. No physical venue is required; participants count waste at home or school. \nEvent Details\nOrganiser: Greenpeace UK and Everyday Plastic \nOrganiser website:\n\n \nGreenpeace UK \n\n \nStart:\n\n2026-03-09\n \nEnd:\n\n2026-03-15\n \nEvent link:\n\nView event details
