Swap plastic bags to paper bags for loose fruit and vegetables in Supermarkets

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

With the 'plastic crackdown' of the last couple of years, including the usage of paper straws in restaurants and favourability of bio-degradable storage, it is now time to look for a new solution to an avoidable problem.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Replace small plastic bags for loose food products with brown paper ones
