Plastic Free Mersey project marks one-year anniversary

Environmental project Plastic Free Mersey celebrated its one-year anniversary with an event featuring various activities at Veolia’s Recycling Discovery Centre in Liverpool on 25 May.

Over the last twelve months, Thames21 and Mersey Rivers Trust have been working in collaboration with main project funders LyondellBasell, one of the world’s largest producers of plastics and chemicals; and INOVYN, Europe’s leading producer of vinyls. Peel NRE – Natural Resources and Energy, a company focused on clean growth and the circular economy, has recently joined our project as funding partner and we are getting other businesses involved.

The project also has the support of trade associations British Plastics Federation and Plastics Europe, RECOUP, a recycling-focused environmental charity, and SUEZ, a global expert in the water and waste sectors.
