Rejected petition Ban the use of plastic ring connectors, currently used to hold cans together
Plastic ring connectors are currently used to hold drinking cans together in the UK and they cause significant environmental problems. There are plenty of alternatives including simply using a cardboard container as they do for food cans. A total ban on them will happen eventually, now is the time!
