That could be plus VAT as well seeing as that's the Tradepoint area and they like to play proper builders merchants.

Not bad for a pack of 6 surely?
What would you wear those for?
Millions of discarded masks are now being dumped into the ocean and killing countless marine life.
Its time we got a grip ffs.

Yes we need to stop acting like we are kings of this planet and start acting responsibly.
in my district, we're lucky enough to have dustbins, which are collected and not dumped in the ocean.
Perhaps you need some kind of elected government to run things better.
You are deluded if you think you know where your waste goes.
Over 2 million tonnes of plastic packaging are used in the UK each year. 88% of the sea's surface is polluted by plastic waste. Between 8 to 14 million tonnes enters our ocean every year. Britain contributes an estimated 1.7 million tonnes of plastic annually.

The proliferation of plastic waste is impacting both our natural environments and wildlife across the world. The problem has become so severe that the UN’s oceans chief has called it a “planetary crisis” warning that life in the seas risks irreparable damage.

And you claim that it comes from facemasks collected in municipal dustcarts?
Nonsense.

johnd thinks we should continue littering the ocean with discarded facemasks and plastic gloves.
From your favourite rag....

“With a lifespan of 450 years, these masks are an ecological timebomb given their lasting environmental consequences for our planet,”
You can't expect people not to try and protect themselves in case the seas get polluted by government and council indifference to what happens to waste that they organise the collection of.
The vast majority of us place our rubbish in the designated bins provided by the councils. i.e. recyclable in the recycle bin, food waste in the food waste bin, glass in the glass box, cans in the metal box etc, etc, in the belief, and hope, that the council departments responsible see to it that they are disposed of accordingly. It is not the general public who are creating all this pollution it is the governments. My wife and I wear disposable masks and gloves because we are both classed as vulnerable. When we take them off we either place them in a bin outside the last shop or we bring them home and put them in our own waste bins. Are we to blame if those items then end up in the ocean because someone else further down the line doesn't play their part in this chain? Or should we not take these protective measures and expose, not only ourselves but other members of our family or public, to this virus in an effort to protect the seas?

Manufacturers make the stuff, the public discard it.
Goverments just preside over the mess.
