What the petition asks
We urge the Government to ban plastic manual toothbrushes by 2040 through a phased out plan. This includes restricting sales, supporting eco-friendly alternatives, running awareness campaigns and enforcing legislation to reduce plastic waste and protect the environment.
By working together, we think we can reduce plastic waste and ensure a sustainable future.
