PLASTIC PROBLEMS
Up to 34 billion plastic bottles enter our oceans and waterways each year.3
In the UK, only a measly 44.2% of plastic waste is recycled.2
Did you know?
Every day 35.6 million plastic bottles are used, of which 15 million are not recycled⁴.
The dirty truth
Like us, you probably thought the plastic drink bottle you put into the recycle bin ended up having a happy after-life as something rad (or at least another plastic bottle)! This does happen…sometimes. But often that bottle is downcycled into something crappy, incinerated, or sent to a landfill anyway.
