We are all too aware of the volume of plastic that is being discarded weekly; not least some of it throughout the Cheshire Sandstone Ridge.

This week – 16-22 May 2022 – marks 'The Big Plastic Count'.

Across the country, households of all shapes and sizes, schools, community groups and businesses, will gather new evidence.

How much plastic are we really having to throw away, and what happens to it?

The intention is to reduce single plastic use by 50% by 2025 by switching to reusable options that work for everyone – and ban sending our waste to other countries.
