What the petition asks
charitybags.org.uk estimate that 525 million charity bags are delivered to homes in England & Wales per year – this would equate to 2,625 tonnes of plastic.
They say only 3% are filled, meaning that a staggering 509 million bags may be ending up in landfill, contributing to the worldwide plastic problem.
