If you think going plastic free is too hard to achieve (pretty impossible in our opinion) but you want to domsomething, then Plastic Clever might just be the thing you’re looking for.

The Plastic Clever mindset is a ‘way of thinking’ as much as anything else. It’s about being cleverer with our use of plastic; a material that has been made to literally last forever, and yet it’s used everyday in millions of single-use plastic products that have a 5 – 10 minute lifespan before being thrown away.
And the bulk of them are not even recycled. HONESTLY! That’s just stupid, isn’t?!
The BIG 4 plastic polluters are our main issue at the moment: the coffee cups + lids, plastic bottles, straws and plastic bags.
We’re not keen on plastic cutlery and some other easy-to-avoid items as well.

Just about everyone!
Seriously, we have awarded the Plastic Clever certificate and window sticker to: cafes, schools, festivals, businesses, families, Girl Guides, adventurers, individuals and even a Town Council.
You can see them all on the ‘Map of Cleverness’ below.
