Rejected petition Make fast food restaurants responsible for litter pollution due to packaging

As fast food restaurants increase in numbers it is important to ensure that littering of their packaging is controlled. Although consumers should also be held responsible, restaurant chains should carry some responsibility - burger wrappers etc are not helping or attractive in our environment.

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.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We're not sure how you would like fast food outlets to be held responsible for littering. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

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