The boat is designed as a traditional "punt" boat and seats up to 12 passengers. The Plastic Fishing Tour was funded through [Starbucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collaborative-reuse-project)' [5p disposable cup fee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verigreen-plus) and will tour UK waterways to collect plastic pollution. The collected plastic will be used to create more punts to further clean waterways. The cleaning initiative launched in four areas including Manchester, Central Scotland, Bristol and Birmingham. Each region will be competing to collect the most pollution, with the winning team securing a permanent boat. This water cleaning solution is just one of many ways both consumers and corporations are teaming up to help our planet.
