The UK’s biggest investigation into household plastic waste

The brief is simple: count your plastic waste for one week and submit your results to us online.

The campaign is engaging, empowering, and educational for both children and adults. It aims to highlight the urgency and scale of the plastic crisis while enabling people to play a part in helping to solve this pressing issue.

Not only does this initiative help participants learn about the plastic problem by generating their own personalised household plastic profile, but their contributions also provide vital data that helps us present the true scale of the plastic crisis to decision-makers in government and business.

Now in its fourth year, The Big Plastic Count has a bright future thanks to The National Lottery Community Fund.
