Rejected petition Make manufactureres and retailers only supply compostable or recyclable plastic.

Everyone knows that plastic is becoming a blight not only in our environment, but also worryingly now found in the seas and in wildlife. We must now consider a drastic option which changes the way we abuse this useful, but ultimately damaging material.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure what action you would like the Government or Parliament to take. If you would like Parliament to change the law, to ban the manufacture and sale of non compostable or recyclable plastic, you could start a new petition asking for that.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
