Plastic Free Sheffield Central is a community campaign dedicated to minimising Sheffield’s contribution to the single-use plastic crisis. They are calling for local businesses and community groups to sign up to be Plastic-Free Champions and Plastic Free Allies.

Plastic Free Sheffield Central are looking to sign up SME businesses based in the Sheffield Central constituency to become an accredited Plastic Free Champion. Plastic Free Champions are businesses who have made three or more swaps to reduce single-use plastics from their business operations.
