Closed Ban the sale and supply of all non-biodegradable refuse and bin bags in the UK.

Closed on

The majority of all refuse and bin bags used daily in the UK are not biodegradable. This includes bin bags, nappy sacks and pet waste bags. Tied non-biodegradable bags prevent the natural degradation of the contents in landfill. Biodegradable bags are widely available and should be the only choice.
