Plastic pollution is a massive problem and it takes collective, positive action to apply pressure and make change. Sheffield Action on Plastic is a community organisation working to reduce single-use plastics. The group is run entirely by volunteers and everyone is welcome to get involved in this exciting and rewarding campaign. With no regular income, donations are also needed.

Through campaigns like “Plastic Free July” and “Plastic Free Sheffield Central” they give awards and publicity to businesses and community organisations who are working to improve their progress. They offer Plastic Audits, with solutions on how to cut usage, and even a FREE 10-week email course to help you “live with less plastic – without the guilt, overwhelm or greenwashing”.

Their Sheffield Sustainable Market is a regular chance to sell/purchase local makers’ sustainable gifts.

Sheffield Action on Plastic also can offer a Reusable Cup Hire Service with reusable pint cups, half pint cups, wine goblets and coffee cups for use at public and private events.
