That was the driving force in establishing our ‘world without waste’ goals, and while we continue to make progress against these targets, we are challenging ourselves to do more. To highlight the pollution hitting the environment, Surfers Against Sewage commissioned a 100m by 400m projection of packaging waste stacked up against the White Cliffs of Dover.Ī plastic Coca-Cola bottle on a beach - Surfers Against Sewage says a dozen companies are responsible for 70% of the branded packaging pollution in the UK (Image: PA)Ī Coca-Cola spokesperson said: “We share the goal of eliminating plastic waste from the environment and acknowledge that The Coca-Cola Company has a responsibility to help solve this issue. The data for the audit came from the charity’s million mile clean initiative, which encouraged the public to clean up their local environment to protect oceans, beaches and wildlife and improve people’s connection with the outdoors. Tobacco products made up around 15 per cent of all the rubbish found on beaches, and more than a quarter of the unbranded litter was cigarette butts, polluting soil and beaches with single-use plastic and toxic chemicals, the charity said. The volunteers for the survey found 10,843 branded items in total, linked to 264 companies, with 28,727 items recorded overall including both branded and unbranded items. Legislation such as an ‘all-in’ deposit scheme needs to be introduced urgently and governments must hold these companies to account.” “Businesses need to take responsibility for their polluting products and transition to models of reduction and reuse.
Systemic change is urgently needed to end the pollution swamping the land and ocean. We cannot stand for this blatant greenwashing any longer. “Despite public sustainability commitments, these dirty brands are failing to take meaningful action to stop this harm. Surfers Against Sewage projected a warning about plastic litter on to the White Cliffs of Dover (Image: PA) Hugo Tagholm, chief executive of Surfers Against Sewage, said: “Year after year, our citizen science brand audit reveals the same huge companies are responsible for the packaging pollution choking our environment. The charity also insists that companies should take responsibility for harmful pollution and the entire lifecycle of their products, reduce their packaging, and adopt “circular” business models that reuse materials rather than letting them go to waste. Surfers Against Sewage is calling on the Government to introduce an all-in deposit return scheme covering drinks containers of all sizes and materials, not just “on-the-go” smaller plastic bottles and cans. This would levy a charge that would be paid back to customers when they returned drinks containers for recycling. It also found that nearly half of the reported packaging would be covered by an “all-in” deposit return scheme. The report found that 12 companies, led by Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and McDonalds and including other major drinks and snack brand companies, are responsible for most of the packaging carrying branding. Zipper Access Doors are reusable and though they are best installed directly onto the wrap immediately after installation, the inside wrap does not need to be cut or pierced until the need for access is immediate.A dozen companies are responsible for 70 per cent of the branded packaging pollution found on UK beaches and the environment, charity Surfers Against Sewage has alleged.Īlmost 4,000 citizen science volunteers across the UK collected litter along 13,000 miles of coasts, countryside, streets, rivers and green spaces over the past 12 months, producing data for the annual report into packaging pollution by the ocean conservation charity. Smaller hatches can provide access through the wrap for tight spaces and ventilation but in general, the bigger the door, the easier it is to get in and out of your wrap. Keep in mind that the opening is about a foot less in all directions. When access to the inside of an enclosure or through a plastic wall is necessary, our zipper doors are the perfect solution - especially for construction or temporary access needs.
