Rejected petition Immediate ban on unnecessary plastic drinks bottles where alternatives exist

Plastic waste has become a global issue.

Many shops only stock plastic bottles of juice when aluminium cans or glass bottles are a viable alternative. Industry has failed to act and so I am petitioning the government to impose legislation banning this as a starting to point for wider action.
