Scotland Plans To Impose Charges On Single-Use Drink Cups
The Scottish Government is planning to introduce a charge on single-use drink cups, according to environment secretary, Roseanna Cunningham.
Cunningham said, “The scale of the challenge is clear – an estimated 4,000 tonnes of waste is generated by single-use cups each year, wasting valuable raw materials and generating unnecessary CO2 emissions in the process.”
The proposal will be included in the forthcoming Circular Economy Bill, which will also consider imposing charges on carrier bags as well as other items that are harmful to the environment.
The number of single-use cups used in the country is estimated to reach 310 million a year by 2025.
