ACR+ member Belfast City Council has been recognised by environmental charity Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful for its free reusable period products initiative. This project is focusing on period waste. The City Council has teamed up with 'Hey Girls', a social enterprise that produces environmentally friendly period products. Residents can sign up to receive free reusable, non-plastic period products. The council won the Behaviour Change Award, for its pilot project which not only tackles period waste but also addresses the pressing issue of period poverty. The project not only demonstrates concern for the environment but also showcases the council’s commitment to promoting inclusivity and sustainability within the community.
