Studies show that the UK discards over 500 million plastic shampoo bottles every year and only a very small percentage of those are actually suitable for recycling.
That means the majority will either end up in landfills or head to incineration plants; either way, they will be spoiling the environment around us. Not only is this detrimental to our planet, our oceans, and wildlife, but when plastic eventually does biodegrade after many years, it breaks down into microplastics! These microplastics then find their way into our waterways and cause harm to aquatic life.
