Fund research on making Covid-19 home testing kits more environmentally friendly

What the petition asks
If the Government is going to roll out home testing for the whole of the country we need home testing kits to be more eco-friendly. E.g. a single sealed bag for all the contents rather than several different ones. And the negative tests and contents could be biodegradable or at least recyclable.
Imagine how much plastic will be produced and thrown into landfill from every family in the country. This needs to be changed!
