Petition Require that all single use drinks cups are 100% biodegradable.

Currently only around 1 in every 400 single use drinks cups, mainly used for takeaway coffee are recycled. Many such cups end up littering our pavements, parks, beaches and rivers. It is time that all such cups should be 100% biodegradable to minimise their impact on the environment.
