Plus tailored support from reusable take-out packaging supplier, FSG, to help you develop a roadmap for reusable items in your school canteen!
how to get involved
First thing, make sure your school is registered onto the Plastic Clever Schools programme.
Not registered yet? No problem, register your school now (it only takes 2 minutes)
Then, get your pupils / students to design a poster that highlights the issue of single-use plastics in your school canteen and dining areas, and encourages behaviour change to reusable items.
Submit your poster(s) via your Profile page and you could be in with a chance of winning up to £1000 worth of reusables for your school canteen (plus a goodie bag filled with Kids Against Plastic & Common Seas merch for the pupils that created the poster)!

How will the posters be judged?
Shortly after the closing date for the competition has elapsed (Friday the 10th February 2023), members of the Kids Against Plastic Kids’ Club will vote on the winning design. Someone from the Plastic Clever Team will be in contact with the winning school and the winning design will appear on the Display Board page.
We wish that everyone could be a winner, but we only have a limited number of prizes. So, here’s the lowdown on what the judges will be looking for:
Inspire
Learn about problem plastics that can be replaced with reusables.
Investigate
Discover the problem plastics in your school canteen that can be swapped out for reusables.
Act
Share your learnings with your peers – present the facts in an engaging poster and make a positive impact.
How to submit a poster
When your pupils / students have designed a poster you need to submit it to enter it into the competition. You do that in the same way you would submit a piece of evidence as part of your Plastic Clever School journey.
Not sure how to do that, see the Uploading Evidence section on our Help page.
TOP TIP
Did you know you can use this competition as part of your evidence for your Plastic Clever School journey?
For example, during level two of your Plastic Clever journey, the Investigate level, you will need to uncover the problem plastics in your school and find solutions to do something about it.
Completing a plastic audit in your school canteen can help with statistics for your posters as part of this competition, while also ticking off a key activity for Level two, ‘complete the Plastic Clever Schools audit’.
The posters created can also form part of your action plan and help to promote change across your school.
