Ban the use of disposable coffee cups in the U.K
Rejected
10 signatures
What the petition asks
About 7 million paper coffee cups are used in Britain daily, although they are made largely of paper, they lined with plastic polyethylene and so only 0.25% are actually recycled. They are unnecessary and wasteful. We should follow the example of the French Government and introduce a complete ban.
