Rejected Ban all single use plastics and give companies a 12 month deadline to do so.

Rejected on

It’s undeniable the impact that plastics have on the environment.
There are many alternatives to plastics that companies won’t use. The government needs to force a complete single use plastic ban.
Give companies a 12 month dead line to find an alternative packaging for their items sold in the UK.
