You know we love anything that reduces waste....wouldn't it be great if our products lasted longer and we could repair them more, so less plastic waste.

Please make sure that if you use disposable face masks that you dispose of them responsibly....this time last year these weren't an issue in our oceans...not a good legacy from this time! 😷🌊

@Wessex_Bear @sainsburys @FinalStrawCIO @Southsea_Beach @Rayne360 @portsmouthtoday @PFL_Portsmouth We believe that there is one bin there so far, but more are on their way...but have also seen photos that the one bin is already full.

[Plastic Free Portsmouth @PlasticFreePort]

Good news from @sainsburys today. The plastic recycling banks at Farlington should be back in action in the next couple of weeks (they're changing supplier). Let us know if you spot them open again.
@FinalStrawCIO @Southsea_Beach @Rayne360 @portsmouthtoday @PFL_Portsmouth

[Sainsbury's @sainsburys]

@PlasticFreePort Sorry for the late response. I've spoke with a colleague in our Farlington store who advised that they are in the process of replacing the recycling banks. They hope to have these available again in the next couple of weeks. Hope this helps! Thanks, Hannah
