A bold new law will come into force on October 1
A widespread ban on common plastic items used in takeaways, fast food restaurants and sandwich bars will come into force on Sunday.
From October 1, businesses will no longer be able to supply products like plastic cutlery, plates and polystyrene cups, under new Government restrictions. Councils across the country will be required to enforce the ban locally through their trading standards teams. Environment Secretary Therese Coffey announced the ban in January as part of efforts to reduce the amount of non-recyclable material ending up in bins followed by going to landfill or incineration. The bans will apply to single-use plastic cutlery, balloon sticks and expanded and foamed extruded polystyrene cups and food containers.
"This builds on world-leading bans on straws, stirrers and cotton buds, our single-use carrier bag charge and our plastic packaging tax, helping us on our journey to eliminate all avoidable plastic waste by 2042."
