Closed Impose legislation to stop charity bags being delivered to homes in the UK

Closed on

charitybags.org.uk estimate that 525 million charity bags are delivered to homes in England & Wales per year – this would equate to 2,625 tonnes of plastic.

They say only 3% are filled, meaning that a staggering 509 million bags may be ending up in landfill, contributing to the worldwide plastic problem.
