“The Cotton Bud Project and its goal to drive change within the industry towards the use of alternatives to plastic sticks is a great example of the valuable work that Fidra do raising awareness of marine litter issues and contributing to the implementation of Scotland’s first Marine Litter Strategy.”
Roseanna Cunningham, The Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform

‘The Cotton Bud Project is another great example of constructive conversations effectively bringing about positive behaviour change. Fidra have done a great job at setting in motion a tide-change across the industry that has seen many market leaders join the Good Buddy List. FFI is proud to be working alongside Fidra’.
Tanya Cox, Marine Plastics Programme Manager

'Catalysing a step change in the behaviour of both consumers and producers is no easy task, but what Fidra have shown with The Cotton Bud Project (as well as the Great Nurdle Hunt) is that it can be achieved. At a time when the extent and impact of marine plastic pollution is only just being realised, the Scottish Wildlife Trust are proud supporters of this project.'
