Fidra is an environmental charity working to reduce plastic waste and chemical pollution in our seas, on our beaches and in the wider environment. Fidra shines a light on environmental issues, working with the public, industry and governments to deliver solutions which support sustainable societies and healthy ecosystems. We use the best available science to identify and understand environmental issues, developing pragmatic solutions through inclusive dialogue.
Fidra’s projects
We are reducing plastic pollution from pellets, packaging and pitches. Our work led retailers and manufacturers to change cotton bud sticks from plastic to paper, one of the first successful single-use plastic actions in the UK. Our Best Fishes project aims to minimise Scottish salmon farming’s environmental impacts, from feed to disease. We are combating the harmful chemical contamination of our environment from consumer products, industrial processes and waste. We are evidence-based, pragmatic and collaborative.
Fidra is a Scottish registered charity and SCIO no.SC043895
