Despite having been recognised as a problem for at least 20 years, plastic cotton buds are a continuing pollution issue.
Fidra addresses microplastic pollution from artificial pitches, nurdles and sewage related litter. We have also supported a programme of work at Fauna & Flora International focusing on microplastic pollution.
An information portal to bring together pertinent facts about farmed salmon where it comes from and how it’s farmed.
PFAS are synthetic chemicals of major environmental concern, used in a wide range of products including ‘stain-resistant’ finishes on textiles.
Synthetic turf pitches can be a source of microplastic pollution. Fidra is promoting measures to reduce loss of rubber crumbs into the environment.
Much of our takeaway food and drink packaging can have devastating impacts on environment. They are difficult to recycle and many of the materials and chemicals in them don’t breakdown if they end up as litter.
