- Urge them to re-consider UK commercial ties with the largest producers of crude oil (the base ingredient of all plastics): the US and Saudi Arabia. Here’s what they need to know: In 2019 the UK dumped 19,000 tonnes of plastic tyre-dust, 2,900 tonnes of microfibres from synthetic clothing, 1.3 billion plastic cotton-bud sticks, and 53 billion nurdles (minute pre-production plastic pellets) into our inland and marine waters.
Plastics are choking our planet because we still use them – every single day. We need to stop – right now!
