The Blackheath Pottery and Café outside Coleraine is the latest business to sign up to Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council’s PlasticSmart and H2O On The Go schemes.

Aiming to emulate the industrial prowess of the past and honour the craftsmanship of years gone by, potter Babs Belshaw is reducing and reusing existing plastic packaging which arrives with supplies and choosing to wrap her products using paper masking tape, corrugated card, paper and corn starch peanuts (biodegradable packaging).

To find out how you can get involved with PlasticSmart and H20 0n The Go contact recycle@causewaycoastandglens.gov.uk or phone our Environmental Resource Officer team on 028 2766 0248.  

The LiveSmart initiative aims to encourage, inform and involve all our residents, businesses and visitors to live more lightly on our planet by taking simple steps to protect our environment.
