Ban single-use plastic bottles in the manufacture of soft drinks for UK market

Closed 2,069 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the Government to take action to cut down plastic pollution by banning single-use plastic bottles in the manufacture of soft drinks in the UK.
We say planet before profits and support us in telling the Government to take action today, ban the use of plastic bottles for soft drinks.
We are here to shout at the top of our lungs “End the OBSESSION with plastic bottles. Let’s stop choking up our oceans, and clogging our beaches and landfills with this unnecessary type of plastic bottle”

The UK Government must ban the use of harmful plastic bottles in soft drinks.

You ask what does this mean for our favourite soft drinks? It means companies need to take a green approach to their manufacturing process, and put our planet before their shareholders profits!
