The Plastic Free Awards bring together leaders from the wider environment movement to recognise champions from all walks of life.

There are 12 categories covering all areas from campaigning and youth activism to small businesses and innovation.

You could enter the charity, school, business or event that you work for, or one that inspires you.
“We are looking for people inspiring change in their communities, businesses and schools. Businesses ditching single-use; Young activists challenging the status quo; Community Mobilisers; Schools leading the charge; Innovators redesigning the norm; Movers, shakers and change makers Sporting heroes taking a stand.
