Milestones

Ban use of all single-use plastics, including food packaging and product wrapping. We think this would reduce waste, protect the environment, and encourage manufacturers to adopt sustainable alternatives like plant-based or cornstarch solutions.

Single-use plastics harm ecosystems and marine life. While bans exist on items like straws and plates, most packaging, including food and product containers, remains unregulated. We think a comprehensive ban would reduce pollution, drive innovation, and push manufacturers to adopt existing eco-friendly alternatives, positioning the UK as a leader in sustainability.
