In June 2019, the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead Council declared an environment and climate emergency. It is clear that urgent action needs to be taken to mitigate the impact of climate change, which led to the creation of the Environment and Climate Strategy.
Following this, the community group Plastic Free Windsor developed a Single Use Plastic (SUP) Action Plan for the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. Plastic Free Windsor operates under the umbrella of the Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) Plastic Free Communities campaign. The main objective of the plan is to reduce the use of SUPs within the borough by residents, businesses, schools, and community spaces. At a Cabinet meeting on the 17th of December 2020, the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead endorsed the SUP Action Plan.
Updates
In 2022, 25% of the actions within the SUP Action Plan were accomplished. For more details of how these actions were accomplished, please see the document titled 'SUP Action Plan: 2022 Delivery Updates'. To accompany this report, the 'SUP Action Plan: 2022 Delivery Updates Inforgraphic' was created. Both documents can be find on the right hand panel of this page.

The first meeting to kick off the SUP Action Plan happened at 9am on the 25th of November, 2021. The meeting was attended by members of the Plastic Free Communities (Plastic Free Windsor and Plastic Free Maidenhead), and several council Officers.
The purpose of the meeting was to get things moving, clear up any confusion and get people motivated to begin action and take next steps. There was a strong sense of enthusiasm in the virtual room, with lots of ideas and collaboration happening both in the meeting and in the chat.
