#OneLess Campaign
After disposing of over 8,000 single use bottles in 2017, in 2018 we partnered with ZSL’s #OneLess campaign and pledged to remove single use plastic from all of our Completely Retail Marketplace UK events from 2018 onwards.
Our April 2019 show went even further. We implemented new changes to the show including the removal of plastic straws, the distribution of fully compostable coffee cups and the reuse of the previous year’s carpet and shell scheme. We continue to improve on the carbon footprint of the event and working towards our Net Zero target.
