The Shocking Truth About Plastic Waste in the UK

Did you know that Brits throw away 7 billion plastic bottles every year? That’s almost 100 bottles per person—and that’s just in one year! While plastic is recyclable, far too much still ends up in general waste bins, or worse, polluting our environment.

At Smart Clear Services, we believe that tackling plastic waste starts with two key steps: better recycling and reducing single-use plastics. Simple changes, like carrying a reusable water bottle or sorting recyclables correctly, can make a huge difference.

By making small, everyday choices, we can collectively reduce plastic pollution and move towards a greener, cleaner UK. Recycling isn’t just a chore—it’s a step toward a sustainable future we all share.
