What the petition asks
There is no excuse for the use of single use plastics when there are environmentally friendly alternatives available. Single use plastics are choking our planet and our continued use of them is not acceptable, the planet needs us to step up, the world is suffering because of our negligence.
The Drowning in Plastic BBC documentary shows the horrific and in depth affect of plastic on our planet, the ecosystems, animals and on ourselves.
Why it was rejected

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We are not sure what you mean by "eliminate".
You could start a new petition calling on the UK Government or Parliament to ban the manufacture or sale of single use plastic products if that is something you would like to see happen.
