2023 was a big year for City to Sea, with some significant campaign wins and ambitious new projects launching. Thanks to our incredible network of everyday activists, partners and communities around the UK, we’ve continued to fight for plastic-free options to be accessible and affordable for everyone. Our work in 2023 included: Political Advocacy and lobbying to call on the gov to ban the most polluting single-use plastic items. Refill Community action providing support to the 300+ Refill community led schemes in the UK and internationally. Launching a new programme ‘Refill Destinations’ for Local Authorities, to support them in growing reuse and refill in their regions. Innovation in prefill – launching a prefill reuse model in M&S in collaboration with Reposit, as part of a UKRI funded project, which continues to grow with Ecover and further retailers coming on board in 2024 and beyond. We ran our fourth World Refill Day, reaching millions of people around the world, positioning reuse as a solution to the plastic crisis. We launched our first ever Global Reuse Summit, which we streamed live on 16th June 2023 and created a digital hub to host all the recorded content after the event, for others to continue to enjoy and learn from. From brands and businesses, to researchers, campaigners and activists – we heard from leaders in the space, with sessions covering all aspects of the refill and reuse, including global policy, packaging, business innovation, and localised system change. We launched the Refill Return Cup Scheme in Bristol, with a blueprint digital guide for other cities to follow, tackling the millions of single-use cups used every year. We are now developing this scheme beyond the pilot stage, scaling it across UK universities and BIDs. Our impact: As of 2023, the Refill campaign has saved over 60 million plastic bottles from entering our waste streams (based on all UK Refill Stations being used once a day). We reached over half a million downloads of the Refill app, enabling more users than ever before to eat and drink with less plastic. 80% of Refill schemes say that Refill has enabled them to make a difference in their community and deliver a positive environmental impact. 81% of City to Sea supporters were motivated to reduce the amount of plastic they used by seeing a City to Sea campaign. 50% of respondents from our annual consumer survey report that they ‘always’ or ‘usually’ drink tap water over bottled water on the go and 75% say they ‘always’ or ‘usually’ drink tap water over bottled water at home.
Trusts, grants and foundations – we work with a number of funding partners who contribute financially to City to Sea, or pay us to deliver work. Corporate partners – we have a number of strategically aligned corporate partners (brands, infrastructure providers and retailers) who contribute financially to City to Sea’s work and collaborate with us to sell reusable products and/or deliver innovative solutions to single-use plastic. Supporters – we have built a network of more than 100,000 supporters who we provide practical tips for living with less plastic as well ways to take action. Communities – through our Refill campaign we work with 300+ community schemes driving change on a local level across the UK. Councils – we also work with 90+ Local authorities to support them in reducing waste, tackling pollution and meeting their sustainability and climate commitments. We are developing the way we work with Local Authorities, since launching our Refill Destinations programme, a paid package which offers councils with more direct support and reporting to deliver growth of refill and reuse in their regions. Our stakeholders are communicated with regularly through a mixture of newsletters, training sessions, status calls / meetings and direct email (depending on the stakeholder group). They are all surveyed annually. We regularly consult with our stakeholders and community and survey results have guided our strategy, communications and campaigns activity.
