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

Closed on

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.

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.
