Make it illegal to produce and use products made of non-recyclable plastic

Closed 50 signatures

What the petition asks

We need to stop thinking that plastic waste is being dealt with to the degree at which it is advertised. We do not need non-recyclable plastic, and this is evident by the amount we only use once - then throw away every day.

A large amount of plastics marked 'recyclable' are not recycled in the UK (mostly mixed plastics) and are instead sent abroad to be disposed of. As a result of this, we need to open far more facilities capable of processing and recycling mixed plastics. Our use of non-recyclable plastic is unsustainable, irresponsible and unnecessary.
