Ban the use of plastic 6 pack rings in the UK

What the petition asks
I want the Government to ban the use of plastic 6 pack rings in the UK due to the damage they cause to the environment. They're particularly damaging to wildlife and have been banned already in some parts of the world.
Although consumer pressure is already persuading some manufacturers to abandon plastic 6 pack rings it would be better if there was an outright, legal ban. Only the government can pass a law to do that.
