As you know, we are not convinced that recycled plastics will stay in the loop. At least @Unilever Ecolo Clean toothbrush comes in a paper pack, which is fully recyclable.

Let’s hope all toothbrush packs lose the plastic. And all toothbrushes.

It’s satisfying to report on high volume low cost brands going #plasticfree, but even better to be in @Tesco and see them on the shelf. Kitchen roll in paper, back how it used to be, from #Regina.

Now @KCCorp & @Bounty - why are you still polluting with unrecycled flexibles? 🤬

Beware polymer scientists brandishing infamous Danish bag study: “It takes 123 trips for a cotton bag to beat a plastic bag on carbon footprint” they cry

We laugh in their faces. Just 1 of my bags at work does 3 shopping trips each week & carries more kilos

That’s 196 per year!

Big news from China this morning, they’ve launched a new plan to reduce single-use plastics across the country 🙌

Non-degradable bags will be banned in major cities by the end of 2020 and straws & takeaway food containers will also be phased out!

Water quality is an increasing problem in Dublin. Through the #Backdrop project, @DCUWater are using #FreshWaterWatch to try to map the sources and pathways of pollution. Data has never been collected on this scale before. @Earthwatch_Eur
