RECYCLE We’re recycling four million plastic bottles into our F&F swim shorts. Also, when customers bring back old Bag For Life bags, 85% of each one goes on to be recycled into a new one.
You said, we listened Ridiculous amount of plastic bags, clips and coat hangers from a dozen school shirts @tesco. Can’t you just fold them up? #plasticwaste @JournalistJill James says: ‘The whole F&F range is being challenged to reduce and remove as much plastic packaging as it possibly can.
