2023: We've turned 5 - lets see how much plastic we've saved!
/Wow, we can’t quite believe we made it to 5 years! Its been a wonderful journey meeting you all and helping you avoid single use plastic! For a bit of fun we thought we’d take a look to see how many pieces of single use plastic we’ve kept out of the waste stream.
At least an INCREDIBLE 180,846 pieces of single-use plastic avoided over 5 years!
A few fun stats:
At least 90,961 single use plastic food packets, including 1159 packets of muesli, 2373 packets of basmati rice and 1111 packets of pasta!
19856 plastic tea bags avoided by switching to Westcountry Tea Co plastic free tea bags
At least 14660 plastic bottles avoided by refilling, including 3439 bottles of washing up, 1639 hand wash and 933 fabric conditioner!
Around 38311 individually wrapped dishwasher tablets avoided by switching to plastic free versions
17057 single use plastic items avoided, including 376 tubs of dental floss (which as a side calculation means avoiding 15040 meters of plastic floss!), 672 plastic toothbrushes, 436 washing up sponges, 150 plastic razors and 95 plastic wrapped packets of cotton wool pads!
