Poppy Scotland Reveals the New Paper Poppy

Lodged by Meghan Gallacher (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Standard Motion 32 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Poppy Scotland for creating and revealing its new paper poppy; understands that it has been developed over the last three years in collaboration with experts and partners to reduce single-use plastic; further understands that this new economical and sustainable poppy is made of red and green paper, which has been produced from a blend of renewable fibres from responsible resources, 50% of which has been recovered from the waste generated in the production of coffee cups, making them fully recyclable at home; notes that these will be available from October for the 2023 Scottish Poppy Appeal, and encourages everyone to buy a poppy to support this excellent charity, which supports members of the Armed Forces community.
