Scott The Painter intro

Why we act on plastic

Its widespread use and improper disposal have severe environmental consequences. The construction industry alone accounts for 23% of all plastic consumed in the UK, generating an estimated 50,000 tonnes of plastic packaging waste annually. Plastic pollution harms wildlife, damages ecosystems, and contributes to climate change. Single-use plastics are a major concern, as they often end up in oceans and landfills, where they take hundreds of years to decompose. This leads to the contamination of water sources, the poisoning of marine life, and the disruption of natural habitats. 

We believe that large-scale minimal participation can have a powerful impact, so we have pledged to recover 2 kg of plastic from the environment for every job we complete. 

More than
2 billion people worldwide
dispose of their trash in nature because there are no waste collection services.

Through our partnership with CleanHub, we fund waste collection in coastal communities where services were previously unavailable or not affordable.

This year we're supporting these sustainability projects

Through CleanHub, we fund projects that collect plastic waste - either directly from nature, at community collection points or directly from local households. The plastic is then sorted and any material that can be recycled is reused. Plastic that cannot be recycled is used as an alternative fuel in cement production, replacing coal and gas. This prevents the plastic from entering the environment again.

How we support local communities

By supporting waste collection, we improve lives in coastal communities and create safe and dignified jobs with fair pay and opportunities.
