Petition To Ban Single-Use Plastic Garners 117,000 Signatures In UK
A petition by City to Sea, 38 Degrees, and Greenpeace that calls for the most polluting single-use plastic items to be banned in the UK has received more than 117,000 signatures.
The call to ban items such as plastic cutlery, plates and polystyrene food packaging comes in the wake of public pressure on UK environment secretary George Eustice to take a more proactive approach to tackling plastic waste.
Almost all (96%) back a ban on all the items being considered, while close to two thirds (64%) say that the ban should kick in sooner than the planned April 2023 start date.
