Ban the use of plastic sleeves on bottles, jars and other household products

Closed 119 signatures

What the petition asks

The use of plastic sleeves is adding unnecessary plastic into the home that is not recycled. The Government must ban this unnecessary use of such plastic so manufacturers return to the use of paper labels on bottles, jars etc.
In many supermarkets it is now almost impossible to find certain household necessities that do not have a plastic sleeve. Our use of plastic must be reduced in all areas of our lives, the Government can make an immediate difference by banning plastic sleeve use by all manufacturers and suppliers.
