Litter and Your Yarra

Waterways such as rivers act as a major transport pathway for all sizes and types of litter. High plastic litter loads in rivers, including both macro and microplastics, are due to high levels of mismanaged plastic waste arising from population-rich river catchments. 

Over the years we have conducted multiple research reports into the sources, solutions and impacts of litter, with a focus on polystyrene, on the health of your Yarra.
