Petition Make unsolicited postal marketing illegal.

Electoral registers should record postal marketing opt-in consent from each resident. Without this express consent, a resident should be assumed to have opted out. Sending postal marketing without opt-in consent should be an offence in UK law.

More details

It is currently illegal to send marketing emails without express opt-in permission from recipients. Given the much higher environmental cost of postal marketing, it is imperative that postal marketing be held to the same standards. Many people simply pick up the marketing materials from their doormat and place them straight into their recycling bin.
