Our titles campaign for environmental change and help our readers to be greener, recycle more and reduce waste. We know that 82 per cent of Sun readers are keen to make their lives greener with the title launching its Green Team campaign to encourage readers to reduce their waste, meat consumption, plastic use, and to recycle, reuse and repair more.

Meanwhile, The Times’ ‘Clean Air for All’ campaign launched in May 2019 with a set of bold targets designed to help save lives and reduce new cases of lung and heart disease. All Times environmental content can be read on our Times Earth feed.

In summer 2021 we finalised our plastics pledge to remove all 800 tonnes of single-use plastics from our products, replacing inner and outer polybagging with compostable alternatives. We introduced innovative new sustainable paper bands, offering up commercial space on the sustainable paper bands, in another industry first. The process started in October 2019 as The Sun TV Mag removed its inner plastic polybagging across the UK and Irish editions, removing 350 tonnes of single-use plastic per year from the Saturday issue. Meanwhile The Sun on Sunday phased out single-use plastic by the end of December 2019, replaced by compostable film. The move followed The Times and The Sunday Times removing all single-use plastic outer polybagging in June.
