Operation Clean Up Week Returns This November! We’re aiming to build on the energy and enthusiasm from last year’s events.
Plastic pollution is back in the spotlight after a recent NZ Herald article exposed nurdles littering Auckland’s beaches. Evidence points to local plastic-handling sites as the likely source. With public concern mounting, the timing of the latest upgrades to Operation Clean Sweep NZ couldn’t be better.
