Closed 34 signatures

What the petition asks

Every year tonnes of single or short term use plastics are produced.
These include magazine freebies, kids meal toys etc. A large volume of these items are disposed of immediately or shortly after purchase.
These items could easily be replaced by plastics which are non fossil and biodegrable.
