People Against Plastic Pollution is a Plastic Pollution Charity. We focus on the removal of plastic pollution from the marine environments and coastal regions. In 2022 we removed 3 Bus Fulls (48 cubic meters / 1.7 tons) of plastic pollution from UK coastlines.

Our Trustees, Members and Volunteers work hard cleaning beaches, one of the primary objects of our Plastic Pollution Charity. These beaches are often in remote challenging locations, across the UK.

We care because we believe plastic contamination of the land and oceans to be irreversible. It is also the next ecological disaster that we will soon see servere effects from , those old enough to remember DDT or PCB ecological disasters will understand how pollution in our environment builds up to a critical tipping point.

We can not help prevent primary microplastic pollution as this is a regulatory hurdle, that will have to be agreed by governments. If we can get larger plastics off of beaches before it is broken down into small pieces, that are too tiny to remove, then we are helping in some small way.
