Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Ban the use of single-use plastic containers by restaurants and takeaways

We want the Government to ban restaurants from using single-use plastic containers for food, so that they have to use alternatives - like aluminium - which can be more easily recycled.

More details

Climate change and plastic waste is real and dangerous. Restaurants use plastic containers in their thousands every week. This is extremely irresponsible and encourages plastic pollution. This needs to change immediately. There are millions of these containers being wasted and they can take 100s of years to decompose.

This has to change now.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
