The Big Plastic Count 2026

LET’S INVESTIGATE TO STOP THE PLASTICS CRISIS

For one week in March, thousands of people will be counting every piece of plastic packaging they throw away. Together, we’ll uncover the true scale of the UK’s big plastic problem and call on the government to do more about it.

We’re not just counting plastic – we’re building a movement for a fair future that’s free from the impacts of the plastics crisis.

We will be sending more information out to our parents/carers in February.
