Was delighted to join a panel Labour Party conference this week to talk about ENDS' true crime investigation - Boy Wasted.
The audience hears how our findings showed that plastic waste is a ‘public health emergency’ - not just an environmental one 👇

Boy Wasted lifts the lid on the underbelly of the global plastic waste industry, and takes you all the way back to what we in the UK and western Europe put in our recycling bins.
It's been an incredible and heart-breaking project to work on, please listen and share!
