10-Week Plogging Challenge
Challenge
Our business and the industries we serve depend on the health of the ocean, but pollution from plastic bottles, bags, and packaging is a growing problem.
Action
In April, Benchmark launched a 10-week Plogging Challenge open to all employees. Our oceans and waterways are awash with plastic bottles, bags, and packaging. ‘Plogging’ combines two worthy pastimes – jogging and picking up litter – hence the term ‘plog.’
As a group we removed over 6,000 pieces of plastic and litter from beaches, waterways, paths and parks in the UK, Belgium, Italy, the USA and Mexico.
