Dear John,

Although many people in the UK are concerned about plastic pollution and want to reduce plastic consumption, we still use and discard an astonishing amount of plastic packaging.

Every week, UK households throw away 1.7 billion pieces of plastic packaging - that’s 60 pieces of plastic per household.

Many of us assume our plastic waste is safely recycled in the UK. Sadly, that’s not the case.

In 2024, the UK exported 598 million kg of plastic waste for recycling, a rise of 6% compared with the year before and the highest figure since 2018.

We need your help to change a broken recycling system.

Thanks to your support, we’ve fought against plastic pollution for many years. Together with our partners from Break Free from Plastic, we’ve campaigned for an end to plastic waste exports and have had wins around the world.

But now we need to turn the tide in the UK.

Please donate today ([link removed]) to help us stop unethical plastic waste exports.

By supporting us, you’ll help us fight plastic pollution, hold governments to account and campaign to protect the environment and wildlife.
