We’re proud to share our second litter impact report, presenting the findings of Planet Patrol’s community. Working closely with our partner scientists at the University of Nottingham and University of Glasgow, we’ve analysed the litter data and gathered a true understanding of the extent of litter recorded in the UK, broken down by brands, types and distribution.

The impact report makes a number of recommendations, including a nationwide ban on single-use carrier bags, and a call for much clearer and stronger waste producer responsibilities. This series of reports by Planet Patrol will be essential for assessing the adequacy of policy interventions and industry’s sustainability commitments in an important decade for environmental protection.
