88% of UK citizens regularly recycle with over half of us recycling more in the past year than before. ⁠
⁠
Whilst you may have a recycling routine that works for you, there are some common items that are not being recycled when they could be.⁠
⁠
Using the SHiFT.How platform, we have created a "Surprising Recycling Guide", to help you understand how to recycle items you may not have previously considered. ⁠

We are so excited to announce that our Caribbean R

We are so excited to announce that our Caribbean Research Paper is being presented this week at the 7th International Marine Debris Conference in Busan, by our very own eXXpedition Ambassador, Taylor Maddalene.

Taylor, PhD Student in Environmental Engineering and Director of the Circularity Assessment Protocol with the Jambeck Research Group at the University of Georgia, joined us for our Virtual Voyage to Fiji.

From the 19th-23rd September, Taylor will be presenting the findings from our Caribbean Research Paper to the 7th IMDC.

Hosted every 4 years, the IMDC brings together a diverse range of ocean advocates. From academics to government and industry officials, the conference aims to bring stakeholders together and build solutions to marine plastic pollution.

It's great to see our Ambassadors continuing to make an impact back on land, post voyage. We can't wait to see what Taylor gets up to this week.

Shout out to @jennajambeck who is also attending the conference.

Be sure to follow @supfreescientist, @universityofga and @jennajambeck for live updates from the event.

Reduce, reuse, recycle ♻️ ! A few of our favourite things!

To mark the beginning of World Recycling Week, we wanted to spotlight an article written in collaboration with our friends @TOMRA. The article identifies how @TOMRA are closing the plastic loop through circular solutions, and reducing our need for virgin plastic.

This Saturday, millions of volunteers, governments

This Saturday, millions of volunteers, governments and organisations will come together along beaches all across the world, to do their bit for the global waste problem.

2019 saw 21.2 million people unite to collect 23 million pounds of trash from beaches, worldwide, in one day.

By joining together, we can make 2022 be the biggest Clean Up Day yet.

See #linkinbio for ways to get involved.

A constant presence in a changing world, Queen Eli

A constant presence in a changing world, Queen Elizabeth II’s life was dedicated to serving others and seeking to unite divides.

Our thoughts are with her family at this time as they and so many around the world mourn her passing. And our thanks are with her, for her extraordinary and remarkable life as an inspiring leader and mother.

May she rest in peace.
