PM HOPEFULS CHALLENGED: “TAKE THE UK PLASTIC FREE”

Launched as a ready-made roadmap for ministers, the plan titled The Reduce, Refill and Replace Revolution sets out how UK could become a world leader in removing plastic from fashion and packaging.

Leading MPs and peers from across the political spectrum have called for the Truss government to act on single use plastic. Former Conservative Minister, Lord John Randall, leads an open letter backing a comprehensive new strategy compiled by global solutions agency, A Plastic Planet.
