Rejected petition Plastic disposable bags should be plain with no shop names or advertising on.

I don't agree with paying a shop for a bag and then advertising them. Plain opaque bags would cost less to produce because there will be no ink used, time taken to design them will be saved which will help the environment.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This is a choice for shops, not the Government or Parliament.

You could start a new petition calling on Parliament to change the law, to require shops to provide only plain plastic bags, if that's what you would like to happen.

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