About Us
Projects
- - - Nurdles
    - Plastic pellets pollute our seas and beaches. Fidra works with policy makers, industry, NGOs and the public to end nurdle (pellet) pollution. We run the Great Nurdle Hunt to generate evidence and awareness of plastic pellet pollution.
  - - Cotton buds
    - Despite having been recognised as a problem for at least 20 years, plastic cotton buds are a continuing pollution issue.
  - - Microplastics
    - The Fidra Trustees have supported a novel programme of work at Fauna & Flora International (FFI) since 2012.
  - - Best Fishes
    - An information portal to bring together pertinent facts about farmed salmon where it comes from and how it’s farmed.
- - - PFASs
    - PFASs are synthetic chemicals of major environmental concern, used in a wide range of products including ‘stain-resistant’ finishes on textiles.
  - - Artificial Pitches
    - Synthetic turf pitches can be a source of microplastic pollution. Fidra is promoting measures to reduce loss of rubber crumbs into the environment.
  - - Food Packaging
    - Much of our takeaway food and drink packaging can have devastating implications on our natural environments. They are difficult to recycle due to their mix of materials or contamination and do not naturally breakdown.
  - - Bisphenols
    - Bisphenols are synthetic chemicals used in a variety of products such as plastics and receipts. There is increasing evidence that bisphenols are harming the environment and could be impacting human health by affecting our hormones.
