Our story so far…
Sustainable Nantwich started out as Plastic free Nantwich which was launched in March 2019 by local residents Emilie Janman and Jeremy Herbert. After 6 months the group realised that we were working on lots of projects which had far reaching implications and did not just focus on plastic waste which resulted in the launch of Sustainable Nantwich in January 2020.
In May 2023 we were awarded the outstanding organisation award from the Mayor of Nantwich, Councillor Peter Groves. We were delighted that the hard work of all our volunteers was recognised by the Mayor and Nantwich Town Council.
In June 2022 we were awarded the Eco Warrior Award by Nantwich Morrisons recognising the community projects we have been working on. A big thank you to their community champion Nikki Harrison for nominating us!
In May 2022 Jeremy was honoured with the Inspiring Individual Award in the Salt of the Earth Awards presented by the Mayor of Nantwich, Councillor Stuart Bostock. Jeremy founded Plastic Free Nantwich and Sustainable Nantwich and has been inspiring the local community to get involved in sustainable projects for decades. Congratulations Jeremy!
Nantwich – Plastic Free Communities
In March 2022 we were awarded Plastic Free Community status by Surfers Against Sewage. We have been working on actively reducing single use plastic in Nantwich since the launch of Plastic Free Nantwich in 2019 and were pleased to meet the criteria necessary to be awarded Plastic Free Community Status
