This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
Petitions have to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you would like to ban plastic, but we are not clear what the ban would extent to, for example whether it would apply to personal use. We were also not sure what action you wanted taken to develop a new alternative who you wanted to invest in waste management.
You could start a new petition calling on the Government or Parliament to pass a law regarding plastic use, setting out who the ban would apply to and what other action the Government would be required to take.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
