Our Projects

Preventing pollution

By removing the burden of chemical and plastic pollution on the environment, our projects build resilience to the climate emergency and biodiversity crisis.

Supporting sustainability

A safe circular economy saves energy, resources, and prevents pollution. Our projects address the use of harmful chemicals, promote alternatives to single-use items, and stop losses from supply chains.

Defra has published a report outlining the outcome of its evidence project on intentionally added microplastics, with recommended options to reduce sewage sludge application to land in the UK.

While chemical recycling may have a supporting role in advancing circular economy goals, Fidra emphasises that limiting plastic production and phasing out harmful chemicals must remain the top priorities. Read our latest position paper on chemical recycling. 

Recent research has unveiled that the application of sewage sludge as a fertiliser is significantly increasing microplastic contamination in agricultural soils
