About Us
No Plastic Uniforms advocates for sustainable clothing for primary and secondary students. We aim to empower students to research the environmental, health, and social impact of their school's uniform, and to lobby for change. We seek to contribute to schools' efforts to promote fundamental British values, in particular "how citizens can influence decision-making through the democratic process."
