Mass plastic unwrap event

Venue: Coop Bearsted, 33-37 Egremont Road, Bearsted, Maidstone, ME15 8LH.

Customers unwrap products bought at the till  straight into their bags, boxes or reusable containers.  The plastic packaging is collected by volunteers & put into empty trollies to show how much plastic waste is generated in a short time.  This event will highlight the level of plastic packaging in supermarkets and put people pressure on them to change.

This event is organised with cooperation with Coop & is part of the ‘Plastic Free Bearsted’ Community initiative.
