What one thing about your brand, business or organisation would most surprise us, or is not known outside of your team?

A surprising thing is the truly staggering figures that we've been discovering,

- Over 2 million tonnes of plastic packaging are used in the UK each year.
- Between 8 to 14 million tonnes enters our ocean every year.
- 1 in 3 fish for human consumption contains plastic.

That's just a couple of examples!!

We would wish to get the message across to as many people as possible to make better choices and use more sustainable, eco-friendly and renewable products.
