Petition Action

Stop UK schools from using non reusable cutlery and dishes.

Petition Details

Many UK schools use single use containers (often polystyrene) and plastic cutlery instead of proper plates and cutlery. Our seas are getting polluted and all of that waste either ends up there, or goes into landfill. I reckon that my school throws away OVER HALF A MILLION single use items per year.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

This is a decision for individual schools to make, not the UK Parliament and Government.

You could raise this issue with your head teacher and board of governors.

If you would like to "Ban the sale of single use plastic straws and cutlery in England", you might like to sign and share this petition instead:
