We are also speaking with the cleantech company to see what else can be done to help save our beaches from plastic pollution. Getting traction to collect the waste from our beaches is the hardest part of the movement, but we are encouraging others to take part.

Our team are also collecting the worst type of plastic off our Sussex coast line over this year and next. This will massively help reduce the amount of plastic on our Sussex beaches  whilst at the same time encourage others to be more aware of their everyday plastic use.

The plastic we pledge to collect will create energy from the local clean waste energy centre, preventing it from going to landfills. The energy produced will be in the form of electricity and hot water, with the electricity sent to the national grid and the hot water used for network heating.
