Rejected petition Ban the Gtech pro because of its unnecessary increase in plastic waste

The lastest Gtech vacuum cleaner, the Gtech pro, reintroduces the use of a bag for vacuuming. However the bag has a plastic non biodegradable rim. Despite the plastic rim being technically recyclable they encourage consumers to dispose of the whole bag by dropping it in the waste bin.
