Business tips for reducing plastic: Richmond networking event

What is #PlasticFreeJuly?

Plastic Free July is a global movement launched by the Plastic Free Foundation. The organisation encourages people worldwide to rethink their relationship to single-use plastic and improve their recycling habits. In short, the movement is all about making you part of the plastic pollution solution.

What is this event all about?

We will be exploring: “Why is reducing plastic important?” “What will be the benefit of becoming plastic free for my business, and the environment?”

We will be sharing top tips, ideas & case studies on how to become plastic free as a business.

This will be an opportunity for you to network with other local businesses and make a pledge to reduce plastic across the borough.

This event will be held online, on Zoom.
