LONDON: England will ban a wide range of single-use plastic items from October, including plates and cutlery
......
The new legislation will also cover single-use plastic trays, balloon sticks and certain types of polystyrene cups and food containers
......
People will not be able to buy these products from any business, which includes retailers, takeaways and the hospitality industry. Restaurants, cafes and food vendors must stop using plastic cutlery, plates and bowls.
A ban on supplying plastic straws, stirrers and plastic-stemmed cotton buds came into force in England in 2020.
Environmental policy is a devolved issue for the governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The UK government in London sets policy in England.
Similar legislation has already been passed in Scotland and Wales.
