The Government is saying goodbyeto #SingleUsePlastic.
From October 2023 we're banning the supply of a range of single-use plastics like:
🍽️ plates
🥗 bowls
🍴cutlery
These plans build on our previous efforts to eliminate avoidable plastic waste, including:
🛁 One of the world’s toughest bans on microbeads in rinse-off personal care products announced in 2018
🥤Restrictions on the supply of single-use plastic straws, drink stirrers and cotton buds in 2020.
🛒An increase to the minimum charge for single use plastic bags to 10p and extended to all retailers, taking billions of bags out of circulation.
