We all want less single use plastic. And yet, more plastic waste is being produced now than ever before! By 2050, there will be more plastic than fish in the sea[1]. It’s time businesses set targets and aim to transform from a single-use culture to a plastic free future.
Consumers are focused on reducing single use plastic in all areas of their lives – whether it's in the workplace, when travelling, or dining out. The importance of reducing and recycling is widely accepted, and now it's time for businesses to ensure that they are meeting the expectations of consumers.
