Ban the Gtech pro because of its unnecessary increase in plastic waste

Petition Details

The lastest Gtech vacuum cleaner, the Gtech pro, reintroduces the use of a bag for vacuuming. However the bag has a plastic non biodegradable rim. Despite the plastic rim being technically recyclable they encourage consumers to dispose of the whole bag by dropping it in the waste bin.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The UK Government or Parliament can set product standards, but is not responsible for banning individual products.

You could sign this petition calling on a ban on the importation and manufacture of non-biodegradable plastics if it is something you would like to see happen.
