A Plastic Planet featured in the news this month as the team support for the development of EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) schemes that work to reduce waste. The UK Government is pushing brands to pay for litter picking and business waste disposal as part of the global drive. Co-founder Sian Sutherland commented “for too long the guilt of the plastic crisis has been laid on shoppers, while the organisations who are pumping it out have no responsibility whatsoever. Extended producer responsibility is crucial if we’re to meet plastic pollution head on”.
