The Big Plastic Count is back for 2026

From 9–15 March, thousands of schools, households and communities around the UK will count the plastic packaging they throw away. We’ll then use this evidence to keep pushing the government to take urgent action to tackle the plastics crisis.

For one week in March, thousands of people will be counting every piece of plastic packaging they throw away. Together, we’ll uncover the true scale of the UK’s big plastic problem and call on the government to do more about it.
