Litter Report 2021

Planet Patrol

Thankfully, one incredible Stand Up Paddleboarder – Lizzie Carr - is spearheading a global mission to rid the world of plastic pollution, by tackling it from its root - canals and rivers all over world – thereby intercepting it before it reaches the oceans. We are happy to cooperate with Planet Patrol  on their SUP cleanups!
 

The annual Planet Patrol litter report is here 🗑

The incredible litter picking volunteers recorded 85,326 pieces of litter across 27,000km of land, coastlines and waterways in 2021. With the help of the Planet Patrol app there are some interesting findings:
👉 Over half of branded litter can be traced back to just 10 brands
👉 Almost one quarter of litter can be traced back to three parent companies
👉 The drinks industry is the biggest polluter for the second year running, responsible for over one third of litter
👉 With that data, it‘s possible to take action and hopefully find a way to improve the situation in the future 🙏
