Throughout the month Telford & Wrekin Council will be offering tips on ways residents can reduce their use of single-use plastics and encouraging local community groups and businesses to sign up to a plastic free pledge.
Single-use plastics refers to any disposable plastic item designed to be used only once, such as plastic bags, drinks bottles, food packaging and cosmetic containers.
Each year, 400 million tonnes of plastic is produced worldwide and 40 per cent of that is used only once before it is binned.
