Frequently Asked Questions

We're all about raising awareness of what can be done to tackle ocean plastic, so we'd love you to share our infographics on social media, please tag @LessPlasticUK.

However, if you'd like to use them for anything else, we'd be very grateful if you'd make a contribution* to take into account the resources and skills we've employed to create them, and to support our work so we can create more designs to inspire environmental behaviour change in future.

You can use this link to make a contribution either on behalf of you personally, or on behalf of an organisation. If you require an invoice, receipt or our details to make a BACS payment, please email hello@lessplastic.co.uk.

Thank you so much for your interest in our work and for your support!

We can send our printed infographics internationally, although we have a minimum order of £40 plus 25% of the total order value to cover international shipping costs. (As an example, an order of £40 of posters/postcards would total £50 including shipping.) 

If you're interested in placing an international order, please email hello@lessplastic.co.uk with which poster/postcard style you would like to order, the size and quantities. We'll then confirm the cost and send you an easy payment link (and invoice if required) and process your order once payment has been received.

Alternatively, you may prefer to receive high res PDF print files to print locally. Please check that our standard UK print sizes (A6, A5, A4 etc.) are acceptable to your local printer before placing your order. Size details in mm can be found on the product page. If you go for this option, we ask for a minimum contribution of £25 in return, to support our work and help us invest in future projects to inspire change.

Many thanks for your interest in our work and for your support!

It's amazing that so many people feel so passionate about tackling the ocean plastic crisis. Awareness is at an all time high, but plastic use is still increasing each year. We all need to work together to consistently reduce our plastic usage.

If you're an individual wanting to make a difference, here are some ideas:

• Reduce your personal plastic use - see our 9 tips for living with less plastic
•  Speak to friends, family and colleagues to inspire them to make changes too
• Talk to business owners in your community to persuade them to use less plastic
• Sign petitions
• Consider setting up a small business of your own that offers products and services that reduce plastic use
• Join the Surfers Against Sewage Plastic Free Communities movement
• Organise or partake in beach cleans, park cleans and litter picks
• And much more! There are hundreds of ways to be a less plastic activist!
• If you'd like to help us spread our messages, you can follow us on social media, sign up to our email list, share our content, and maybe even order some posters/postcards to display in your community.

Thank you for everything you do to reduce plastic use in your personal life and inspiring others to take action too.

Using less plastic is the most effective way to reduce ocean plastic.

If you own or manage a business or any kind of organisation, and want to do the right thing as well as reaping the business and reputational benefits of cutting your plastic usage, you can:

• Invite us to come and talk at your organisation or run a workshop, to inspire your colleagues to use less plastic at home and in the workplace
• Use less plastic in your catering facilities, particularly by phasing out disposables wherever possible and reintroducing reusables instead
• Take steps to reduce your plastic packaging
• Speak to suppliers to request that they use more sustainable packaging materials or returnable/reusable options
• Look for ways to reuse resources within your business
• Engage employees and encourage/reward creative ideas to do things differently -  using less plastic
• Display our posters/postcards to inspire change
• Initiate community events or employee team building sessions that clean up plastic from local outdoor spaces
• And much more!
• Get in touch if you are interested in our less plastic talks, workshops or business consultancy services

Using less plastic is the most effective way to reduce ocean plastic.

We love talking about reducing plastic use - inspiring schools, businesses and other community organisations to take action and change their behaviour around plastic.

Discover more about our talks and workshops.

We have a popular talk that can be tailored to the audience, highlighting the areas to focus on that will have the biggest impact.

Alternatively, we can deliver our practical workshop which introduces the most effective plastic reducing steps you can take within your organisation, and inspires your colleagues to apply them to their roles within the business and their personal lives. They will take away a personalised action plan with timescales and supporting resources to help them use less plastic straight away. Get in touch to find out more.

Our ethos is not to strive for zero waste perfection, as this is too difficult for most people. Instead, we highlight where consistent plastic reduction adds up to deliver the biggest plastic savings - for individuals and organisations alike.

Discover more about our talks and workshops designed to enable your colleagues to use less plastic in their professional roles and personal lives.

Please get in touch to check our availability.

We're actively seeking collaborations with like-minded organisations who aim to inspire widespread change when it comes to plastic usage.

Over the last 3 years we’ve grown a highly engaged following on Facebook of 100K, Instagram 40K and Twitter 7.8K - and have becoming an influential voice in the ‘less plastic/plastic free’ movement.

Much of this has been thanks to our popular, highly shareable, easy-to-action infographics.

We're now looking for partners to co-sponsor future content designed to inspire change.

Partners would benefit from having their brand sit next to ours, and sharing our position as key influencers in the movement to cut plastic use.

If you'd like to discuss this opportunity further, please get in touch.
