Frisbees made from recycled plastic, including some collected from rubbish left 
on UK beaches, are now on sale from Marks & Spencer, with 50p from each £2.50 sale
being donated to the [Marine Conservation Society](http://www.mcsuk.org/).

The Beach Clean Frisbee is a toy made from recycled litter including plastic cups,
fishing tackle and bottle tops. Some of the plastic was collected by M&S customers
and staff at last year’s [Big Beach Clean-Up](http://www.mcsuk.org/foreverfish/?gclid=CLzgnKG8sL0CFY_HtAodJhwAKw)
volunteer event. This year’s campaign is underway this week, finishing on 30 April.
It will clear 140 UK beaches and canals, and organisers hope to clear even more 
than last year’s 30 tonnes of litter.
