What the petition asks
Everyone knows that plastic is becoming a blight not only in our environment, but also worryingly now found in the seas and in wildlife. We must now consider a drastic option which changes the way we abuse this useful, but ultimately damaging material.
Why it was rejected
It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.
We're not sure what action you would like the Government or Parliament to take. If you would like Parliament to change the law, to ban the manufacture and sale of non compostable or recyclable plastic, you could start a new petition asking for that.
