An experiment's taking place in Cyprus to clean up the beaches.

Tourists and local businesses aren't using plastic.

Travel company TUI started the clean-up, which involves hotels and restaurants at two popular beaches.

TUI employee Veronika Blach knows how serious the problem is.

It's been an interesting experience for Chris Karas, a beach restaurant owner.

It was a challenge at first.

Across the world, just 10 percent of plastic was reused in 2019.

So here, you don't buy water in plastic bottles.

Instead, you can fill up at water stations at no cost.

Panagiota Koutsofta manages this exciting project.

She's really happy - the amount of plastic they've saved already is huge.

It's equal in weight to 23 Boeing 737 aeroplanes.

Visitors can also help collect rubbish on the beaches.

They look for small pieces of plastic, and cigarette ends.

The information about what's found is then sent away to a scientific centre.

It's studied to develop new laws to keep the environment safe.
