Introducing, the #KenyaPlasticsPact!
An ambitious, collaborative initiative that brings together stakeholders across the whole plastics value chain to transform the current linear plastics system into a #circulareconomy for plastics. Watch the video bit.ly/39xZqnw
Positive move by Pepsi, but high levels of recycled content in plastic packaging is only possible if we all play our part by recycling the bottles #recycleweek @WRAP_UK
Have you seen our NEW Pepsi MAX 500 and 600ml bottles? They're now made from 100% recycled plastic ♻️ #NothingTastesBetter than 100% recycled #PepsiMAXRecycled

This week is #RecycleWeek! 🙌
Head over to @recycle_now and help the nation #recycle.
Don't forget that #recycling plastic means it can be regenerated into a new #plastic item and displaces the need for natural resources, saves energy and reduces carbon emissions. 😐 🌍
ALT The image contains text saying "Climate change won't wash with us - recycle your shampoo bottles". Underneath, shampoo bottles are made to look like power lines.

Truly saddened at the passing of the brilliant Sean Lock. His brilliance will be sorely missed. The amount of times I’ve almost wet myself laughing at him is countless.
Sleep well Sean.
I genuinely couldn’t stop laughing for days at this.

I found a message in a bottle on the beach. It said ‘Can you put this in the recycling?’
Thanks @Tesco! Dropped off my recent hoard of all types of plastic bags and wrappers for recycling today #ukplasticspact @WRAP_UK

Bags for Life: Or are they? Check out our blog by WRAP’s @HelenHouseBird. She takes a look at our new consumer research into plastic carrier bag use, the increase charge to 10p and why it is so important to take one simple action - reuse our bags. wrap.org.uk/blog/2021/05/bag…
Bags for life: or are they? Today DEFRA announces the increase in carrier bag charging. Here's what I think: wrap.org.uk/blog/2021/05/bag…
Up to 1/3 microplastics in UK waters are from tyres according to this @suezUK report. There are no simple answers, but as we emerge from lockdown I hope that we continue to keep a lid on unnecessary travel, particularly for plastic waste tackling work! suez.co.uk/en-gb/news/press-…

Wasting food feeds climate change 🌍 If everyone in the UK stopped throwing away food for one day, it’d do the same for climate change as taking 14,000 cars off the road for a whole year 😲🚗

Really looking forward to the event tomorrow. Some awesome speakers from across the industry. The networking would have been fab, but I wonder how many little surprise guests and pets we'll have instead?!
