The bin will be 1.5 metres high, while it will have a nautical-theme and it will be brightly coloured. The bin will be using recycled PET plastics, thus creating something that is sustainable. Now, Blackpool becomes the first council in the UK to support such an initiative.
With more attention being focused on ocean’s plastic pollution, GreenSeas Trust aspires that the project will increase awareness and assist beachgoers be more aware of the problem.
The BinForGreenSeas will make it easy for everyone on the beach to keep it clean, and at the same time protect the marine environment.
