Poppy Appeal 2023 launches with new plastic-free design

Remembrance poppies will be plastic-free and recyclable for the first time this year in a move to reduce single-use plastics. The new poppy is the first redesign of the historic symbol since the mid-1990s. The annual Royal British Legion campaign calls for the public to wear a poppy as a show of solidarity towards the armed forces community in the lead up to Remembrance Sunday, which falls on 12th November this year.
