The majority of items that volunteers pick up from our local beaches include single use plastic items such as straws, stirrers, plastic bottles, plastic bags and condiment sachets.
By ensuring that suitable, sustainable alternatives are readily available to your customers, you will be helping to bring about the change in behaviour that our society needs.
Plastic Free North Devon have been instrumental in achieving Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) Plastic Free status for Braunton, Georgeham, Croyde and Woolacombe and continue to assist new communities on their plastic free journey.
Your business can achieve SAS Plastic Free status by following these simple steps:
Eliminate, or find alternatives, for three single use plastic items within your business
Consider how you are able to eliminate or replace all other single use items
Once your business has been approved as ‘plastic free’, you will be able to promote yourselves as an SAS Plastic Free Business Champion and display your certificate and wooden plaque. Your business will also be added to our Plastic Free Champion directory on our website.
We work with a range of business types from Cafes to Veterinary Practices, Doctors to Holiday Accommodation providers. Getting SAS Plastic Free status is just the beginning and Plastic Free North Devon is here to provide the tools and experience to help you on your journey working through any difficulties along the way including recycling options and supply chain issues.
To get the ball rolling you can either contact us direct or visit Plastic Free Community Leader Map to find your nearest SAS Community Leader. If your community isn’t on the map - could you be the next Community Leader? It’s not that scary, we are here to help you.
