Our new beach clean report is out and the UK has a plastic pollution problem! Last year a whopping 15,000 of you helped us pick up and record over 3/4s of a million pieces of litter off our coastline 🙌 Take a look at the report to find out more👇 actmcs.org/tw-beachwatch24 1/4

Great to hear from Nature Minister, Mary Creagh, how important our beach clean data has been in supporting the introduction of a new deposit return system and moving towards an economy based on repair, reuse, refill and recycling. Crucial for nature and climate - and the ocean, of course.

Our beach clean data shows that high levels of single-use items are still being littered on our beaches! Today our CEO, @Luk_Sandy attended an important government roundtable to discuss steps to move towards a circular economy ♻️ 1/2
