Dear member of the Greenprint Forum,
A quick round up of news for your information – please share within your networks and contacts.
Schools Survey on Period Products
The “Schools Survey on Period Products”, being run and distributed by the East of England Plastics Coalition (anglianwater.co.uk) , aims to find out levels of awareness and engagement in schools around reusable period products. As one of its priority areas, the EEPC aims to tackle items that contain plastic and are commonly but incorrectly flushed down the toilet (“unflushables”), such as period products (according to City to Sea, an average pack of sanitary pads contains the equivalent of five plastic shopping bags). The survey aims to understand how many schools in the region are distributing biodegradable and/or reusable options, and engage with those that aren't to advise or enable them to access these alternatives. https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/MD535HC
