Ban the production of virgin (new) plastics immediately

Closed 106 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government needs to implement action to tackle plastic waste. Plastics are ending up in the bellies of sea animals and birds and ending up in our (Human) food cycle. By banning the production of new plastics, this should force manufacturers to use more environmentally friendly materials.
The Government needs to implement action to stop the production of new virgin plastics and force the use of environmentally friendly materials already in circulation, to help the fight against climate change.
