An aquarium in Hampshire is encouraging people to return used coral pots as it looks to tackle single-use plastic waste in the marine trade.
The Coral Centre, based in Titchfield, launched a brand new "Bring in Your Pots" campaign on Global Recycling Day.
The aquarium looks to encourage customers to reuse their packaging.
The centre is the UK's largest sustainable coral provider, supplying marine invertebrates in reusable containers over single-use pages or polystyrene boxes.

"We are constantly looking for new ways to be more sustainable, and we want our customers to know that by choosing The Coral Centre, they are actively helping to protect the environment."
