Single Use Plastic Free 
Accreditation Scheme

WHY GO SINGLE USE PLASTIC FREE?

The problem with plastic is that most of it isn’t biodegradable. It doesn’t rot away, like paper or food waste, but instead it hangs around in the environment for hundreds of years.

 

Each year, 400 million tonnes of plastic is produced. 40% of that is single use plastic that is only used once before it’s thrown into the bin and ends up in our landfills. Plastic can then break down into smaller pieces called microplastics, which pollute our waterways and can be ingested by wildlife.

SINGLE USE PLASTIC FREE ACCREDITATION

As a responsible club, training centre or business, you can get accredited as a Single Use Plastic Free venue in partnership with The Green Blue and The Final Straw Foundation.

If your club, centre or business would like to join other organisations in demonstrating your commitment to being a Single-Use Plastic Free venue, visit finalstrawcertified.org to sign up!
