Reacting to the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement, Sian Sutherland, Co-Founder of A Plastic Planet & PlasticFree claimed Britain has become a “laughing stock” on environmental issues.

Sutherland said: “The ‘Green Industries Growth Accelerator’ has been unveiled, but the £960m in funding excludes plastic replacement technologies. And the woefully inadequate plastic packaging tax is to rise only by inflation. Yet again big oil’s plan B, plastic, is being shielded by Prime Minister Sunak’s government.
