Highways to hell
Every time it rains, a toxic cocktail of pollutants runs off the UK’s road network and into our rivers and water sources. The pollution comes from tyre particles, fuel spills and other vehicle fluids, road surface fragments, sediment and herbicides. These contain heavy metals and toxic chemicals such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), known to be carcinogenic and hormone disrupting to aquatic life.

Plastic packaging waste is a problem that isn’t getting smaller. Despite the many initiatives, targets and corporate ESG commitments, plastic packaging on the market in the UK totals 2.3m t, according to charity WRAP, with plastic packaging now accounting for nearly 70% of the UK’s plastic waste. This figure is unsustainable and doing untold damage to the environment.
