We use 7 million disposable coffee cups EVERY DAY in the UK❗They can't be recycled in normal recycling.

🍓 You can recycle plastic fruit punnets! ♻️ Just make sure they're clean and any padding in them is removed ✅ Text: Can I recycle fruit punnets? Yes!

Single use period products are usually made of plastic, which can end up in the ocean when flushed, or add to the plastic waste that goes to incinerators or landfill. As a stretch goal this Plastic Free July we suggest trying out reusable period products. There are a lot of options now so it's easier to find something that works for you. Text: Stretch goals. Take your period plastic free. Invest in reusable sanitary products to keep plastic out of our oceans. #plasticfreejuly #reusable #plasticfree #londonrecycles #london
