Closed petition Ban the use of plastic tampon applicators
Closed on
Like straws, applicator tampons are used once and then thrown away. A lot end up in the oceans harming wildlife and tainting the oceans. Others end up in landfill where they will take 100s of years to break down. There are other types of products available.
