Councils will also be given signage to stop littering from happening in the first place. Bristol, Walsall, Sunderland and Bury are said to all benefit from the third round of funding from the \u2018Chewing Gum Task Force\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Keep Britain Tidy shared that councils spend around \u00a37 million cleaning up littered gum, with around 77% of England\u2019s streets and 99% of retail sites said to be stained as a result. The Chewing Gum Task Force was established by Defra back in 2021, and is administered by Keep Britain Tidy, with funding from gum producers, including Mars Wrigley and Perfetti Van Melle. Together, the producers have pledged up to \u00a310 million over five years via the scheme to tackle gum littering.<\/p>\n<p>The latest round of funding will provide grants of up to \u00a327,500 for cleansing or the purchasing cleaning equipment alongside a fully funded bespoke gum litter prevention package. In 2023, an independent evaluation of the scheme was carried out in four councils \u2013 Antrim &amp; Newtownabbey, Cardiff, Doncaster and Glasgow. This suggested that, as a result of the street cleansing and subsequent prevention campaign, gum littering reductions of up to 60% were achieved.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.letsrecycle.com\/news\/councils-to-receive-1-2m-for-chewing-gum-prevention\/\">Let&#8217;s Recycle<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/3-552\/\">Councils to receive \u00a31.2m for chewing gum prevention<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[9425,7469,575,579],"class_list":["post-132303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-chewing-gum","tag-cleaning","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-uk"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132303"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132303\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
